Methods include online banking, mail, payment plans and more


Paying property taxes has never been easier or more convenient. As the first instalment deadline approaches, the City of Vaughan is reminding you of the many ways to pay final property tax bills without having to wait in line or step foot in Vaughan City Hall. 

As all City facilities are cashless, learn more about the five different payment options available:  

Drop-off box

Use the outdoor drop-off boxes located at each entrance of Vaughan City Hall to submit cheques with tax stubs. The boxes are emptied at least twice per day. Cash should not be put in these boxes. 

Financial institutions

Taxes can be paid at all major banks either in-person, through the bank machine, online or by telephone. Payments will also be accepted from any other financial institution that will facilitate tax payments. Some financial institutions may charge a fee for this service. 

Mail

Use the return envelope enclosed with your tax bill to submit your payment and tax stub. Make cheques and money orders payable to the City of Vaughan. Do not send cash through the mail. Be sure to send early as payments delayed in the mail and received after the due date will be subject to a penalty charge. 

Post-dated cheques

Use post-dated cheques that correspond with the amounts and due dates printed on the tax stubs. Make cheques and money orders payable to the City of Vaughan and include all tax stubs with the cheques as applicable when sending to the City. A fee will apply if any post-dated cheques need to be sent back. 

Pre-authorized payment plans

Sign up for one of the City’s pre-authorized payment plans, which offer options for either an instalment due date plan or monthly instalment. The interim and final tax payments are automatically withdrawn from the selected bank account on each due date. Your tax account must be at a zero-dollar balance to qualify for this program. 

2022 PAYMENT DUE DATES

As stated on the tax bill, final 2022 residential and non-residential property tax payment due dates are as follows:

  • First instalment – Thursday, July 28
  • Second instalment – Monday, Aug. 29
  • Third instalment – Wednesday, Sept. 28 

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