Dishonoured cheques will be subject to an administrative charge. An administrative fee is payable if the fine goes into default and the information may be provided to a credit bureau. Please allow sufficient time for your payment to be delivered. |
What about the post-dated cheques I provided for my property tax payments? |
Post-dated payments will be processed as normal, unless directed by the property owner. If you can pay your property taxes, please continue to do so. By waiving the penalties and interests, the Township is hoping to give residents, who are in need, more time to make their payments. If you would like the Township to not process your post-dated cheque, please indicate this in writing by emailing taxes@hamiltontownship.ca |
I am on a pre-authorized payment plan (PAP), how will I be affected? |
The Township is continuing with all PAP withdrawals as normal, unless directed by the property owner. If you can pay your property taxes, please continue to do so. If you wish to withdraw from the PAP program, please complete and email the PAP Cancellation form to taxes@hamiltontownship.ca |
If I withdraw from the Pre-authorized Payment Plan, can I return to the plan later? |
Anyone who wishes to re-enroll on the pre-authorized payment plan must be aware that all overdue amounts must be paid in full prior to enroll as the system does not allow enrollments with owing amounts on the account. Re-enrollments will be treated as new applications and therefore, an application form will need to be filled out and a void cheque provided to the Township. |
How does a resident who pays through their mortgage defer taxes? |
Residents must contact their Financial Institution and determine whether they can and if so, the Financial Institution must contact the Township. The Financial Institution must advise the Township to remove the resident from their listing as the taxes are no longer paid through their mortgage. |
How can I make Tax certificate requests? |
Tax certificate requests should be mailed or placed in the secure drop box at the Municipal office in writing along with a cheque of $40. The Tax Certificate request can also be made via fax and faxing a copy of the cheque being issued. Tax Certificate will not be mailed until payment is received. Please ensure to identify the property by including the property location and/or address, legal description and assessment roll number as applicable. For more information email taxes@hamiltontownship.ca or call 905-342-2810 X104. |
