Mark your calendars for July 29, Aug. 28 and Sept. 26

 

Vaughan property owners: check your mailboxes. The City of Vaughan has issued the 2024 final residential and non-residential property tax bills. Payment due dates are as follows:

 

  • First instalment – Monday, July 29

  • Second instalment – Wednesday, Aug. 28

  • Third instalment – Thursday, Sept. 26

 

As all City facilities are cashless, here are easy and convenient ways property owners can pay their property tax bills:

  • Pre-authorized payment plans, including a six-instalment or a 10-instalment option.

  • Post-dated cheques made payable to the City of Vaughan with the amounts, roll number and due dates printed on the tax stubs.

  • Financial institutions, either in person, through the bank machine, online or via telephone. 

  • At Vaughan City Hall, placed in marked drop-off boxes at each entrance.

  • By mail, with a cheque payable to the City of Vaughan and sent in the return envelope enclosed with the tax bill.

 

Learn more about the above payment options at vaughan.ca/PropertyTax.

 

Didn’t receive your bill? If you do not receive your final tax bill in the mail, contact the City immediately at 905-832-2281 or service@vaughan.ca. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying property taxes – late payment penalties will be added.

Want to know how property taxes are used? 

The property tax bill may come in a City of Vaughan envelope, but only less than 30 cents of every dollar stay with the City to provide all municipal programs and services. Here is a breakdown of how residential property taxes are allocated:

  • 50 cents to York Region
  • 28 cents to the City of Vaughan
  • 22 cents to local school boards (Province of Ontario for education purposes)

 

Municipal services in Vaughan are provided by two tiers of government – the City and York Region. The City retains approximately $1,890 of an average $6,778 annual property tax bill to support critical services that residents rely on each day, including fire and rescue service; public works and road services; waste management; infrastructure replacement; maintenance of City facilities; city planning and development; Building Code enforcement; and by-law and compliance.
