Pay your property taxes
Publication date: July 17, 2023Last updated: July 17, 2023
Property taxes are paid yearly for each property or manufactured home you own or lease. You pay your property taxes to the office that sent your property tax notice.
All owners are responsible for any unpaid property taxes. If your property has multiple owners, each owner will be sent a copy of the property tax notice. To make sure the property taxes are paid in full by the due date we recommend:
- All owners communicate and agree on how to share the payment of taxes, and
- Only one owner makes the payment
Note: Interac e-Transfers and credit cards are not accepted.
You must pay or defer your property taxes in full by the due date indicated on your property tax notice to avoid late payment penalties. If you are unable to pay your taxes in full before the due date, still claim the home owner grant (if you qualify) to reduce the amount of property taxes you owe.
The home owner grant reduces the amount of annual property tax you pay for your principal residence.
