Monthly plan

The 12-month payment plan is for properties with taxes paid up to the current date. You can choose to pay on either the 1st or the 15th of each month. The plan begins in December before the taxation year and ends in November of the taxation year. Supplementary and/or omitted property tax bills are not included in your Pre-Authorized Payment schedule and have to be paid with a different payment option.

Self-directed plan

The self-directed plan is an option for properties that have overdue payments or if you'd like to set an amount that you'd like to deduct monthly.

We process the payment on the last banking day of each month. Any penalties and interest will continue to apply on any overdue tax payments, until you pay them in full.
