Paying property taxes? Save yourself some time – do it online!
Want to learn more about how you can pay your property taxes by the second
instalment deadline on Monday, Aug. 29? There are many easy and convenient
methods available – most of which can be done 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.
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 it 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 The interim and final tax payments are automatically withdrawn from the selected bank account on each due date.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, the next two final 2022 residential and non-residential property tax due dates are as follows:
- 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.
