Council, at the June 17, 2020 regular Council Meeting, passed a resolution to continue with the waving of penalty and interest on all taxes, water, and general accounts receivable for a subsequent three-month period of July, August, and September 2020.

At this time, the 2020 property tax instalment due dates remain unchanged. However, we will not be adding penalties or interest charges to outstanding property taxes or water billings for the months of March (usually applied April 1), April (usually applied May 1) and May (usually applied June 1). 

Residents who are able, are urged to stay on top of amounts owed to minimize future financial hardship once this crisis passes.  

Township staff are responding to messages as soon as possible given the office closure and if you wish to discuss your accounts, please reach out and leave a voice or email message. 

Based on federal and provincial directives, Council will continue to review options to provide relief where possible and will revisit the timelines in mid-June as necessary. 

We thank you for your understanding during this time.
