Property tax reminder notices
If the annual property tax bill is not paid by the due date, a property tax reminder notice will be mailed to advise the property owner of the outstanding tax balance, including any accrued penalties. Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties.
Proof of property tax payment
If you believe your payment was made by the due date, provide receipt/documentation showing the payment date along with the location address and/or property tax roll number.
Accepted proof that payment was made by the due date is:
- Copy of receipt, if payment was made at an ATM.
- Copy of your bank transaction receipt, if payment was made to a bank teller.
- Copy of your bank statement showing the payment date and amount.
Be sure to remove all sensitive information, i.e. your bank account number and bank account balance from your receipts or bank statements.
I paid, why isn't it showing on my account?
If your payment does not appear on your property tax account, request documentation from your bank indicating the date, amount and property tax roll number associated with your payment. Submit the documentation from your bank, along with the location address and/or property tax roll number.
Submit your proof of payment documentation using one of the following methods:

Late payment
If payment was not made by the due date, the late payment penalty is valid and payment is required. Penalties are cancelled only if payment is late due to City error. Penalties are applied in accordance with Penalty Bylaw 8M2002.
If you believe your taxes were to have been paid by your mortgage company via PIT (principal, interest and taxes), contact your mortgage company. If they are no longer responsible to pay your tax you become responsible to make payment on or before the due date. The late payment penalty will not be waived.
Paying your reminder notice and avoiding further penalty
In order to avoid further penalties, payment must be made in accordance with the penalty bylaw. For payment options visit Property Tax Payment.
