Property Taxes
Property taxes are billed to all provincial residents once per year, and are payable by residents to their respective municipality. Property taxes are distributed in late May/early June and are due the beginning of July. If you haven’t received your property tax invoice, please contact Village Hall.
Property Tax Payments are due by midnight on July 2, 2024. Post Marks not accepted as payment date. To avoid a penalty, payment must be marked as paid by the municipal office no later than July 2, 2024. An additional 5% penalty will be added to current taxes remaining unpaid after July 2, 2024, and a further 5% to current taxes remaining unpaid after September 30, 2024. View payment options here.
Claiming your Home Owner Grant (HOG)
Home owner grant applications must be submitted directly to the provincial government. You can no longer apply through the Village. For more information about when and how to submit your home owner grant application, click HERE.
