A late payment charge of 1.25% on the total taxes owing will be added on the first day of the month following the due date and on the first day of each month thereafter until paid. All subsequent payments are applied to interest charges first, then to outstanding taxes. 

Effective January 1, 2019, tax accounts in arrears in excess of two years will now be subject to Tax Registration/Tax Sale process.  Please contact the Finance Department to make payment arrangements.
