PROPERTY TAX BILLING
Property tax billing occurs twice per year. Interim billing is sent out in February with installment payment due at the end of March. Final billing is sent out at the end of June with the first installment payments due at the end of July and and the second installment due date the end of September.
For permanent and seasonal dwellings, add $270.00 for waste management services including garbage and recycling pick-up, hazardous waste depot, large item pick-up, etc. The Waste Management charge is included in the Final Tax Billing as a Special Charge.
Tax accounts in arrears any part of two years are now subject to Tax Registration as a means of collection. Please contact the tax department to make payment arrangements.
TAX CALCULATION
Taxes are calculated using the following formula:
Assessment x Tax Rate = Taxes
SUPPLEMENTARY TAXES
A Supplementary tax bill may be issued where a property is not completely assessed at the time of preparation of assessment rolls or where a new building has reached completion or is occupied, or a property becomes taxable. It is in addition to the regular tax bill.
