Property Taxation Arrears Pre-Authorized Payment Plan Enrollment Form

The property taxation arrears pre-authorized repayment plan is available to property owner's whose taxation is in arrears, and is offered with the intent of bringing tax accounts into good standing to avoid further consequences resulting from continued insufficient, or non-payment of taxation. Enrollment into the payment plan is subject to approval.

Tax sale occurs when property tax arrears exceed 2+ years, and the property owner either fails to enter into adequate payment arrangements with the municipality, or is in default of payment arrangements previously agreed to. Tax sale is executed in accordance with rules set forth in the Municipal Act, 2001.

The payment plan is offered in four options, as outlined below, for a maximum of 24 months, with withdrawals occurring every month effective on the upcoming 15th day of the month. A projection of annual taxation, and penalties and interest to incur over the duration of the length of your selected payment schedule, as well as any additional adjustments, will be factored into the calculation and monthly withdrawal figure.

Important Information

If you incur two NSF/returned payments in a calendar year, you will automatically be removed from the payment plan and will have to maintain payment on your account yourself.
