Due Dates and Penalties

Annual Parcel Tax and Water Tolls are invoiced on the 1st of January. There is usually about 2 months between invoice date and due date – see invoice for the exact due date.

Taxes and annual water tolls shall be due and payable on or before the due date. Any portion remaining unpaid after this date shall have a penalty of 15% of taxes and 10% of tolls added, unless you have set up a payment plan, notified us of the details, AND made the first payment.

In addition, taxes and tolls remaining unpaid on the 1st day of March next following the date upon which the taxes are levied shall bear interest at the rate prescribed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council under the Taxation (Rural Area) Act, as set out under Section 717 of the Local Government Act.

Meters are read and invoiced quarterly. Invoices are due and payable upon receipt. A 10% penalty be charged if unpaid after 30 days.

Overdue Accounts

If by the due date, full payment has not been made, nor a payment plan arranged with the District and the first payment made, the account is considered overdue and assessed a late payment fee of 15% on parcel taxes and 10% on water tolls of the balance due.

Past Due Notice

For overdue accounts, a “Past Due” notice is mailed.

Final Notice

If full payment is not received within 15 business days of the date on your Past Due letter, a Final Notice is mailed. You have 15 business days from the date of the Final Notice is issued to remit payment in full.
