Submit the application form (PDF) for 2023 by Friday, March 31. The Seniors, Low-Income Seniors and Low-Income Disabled Persons Property Tax Deferral program (PDF) is also available and must be applied for annually by Sept. 30.
Bookmark upcoming payment dates! Future interim property tax payment due dates are as follows:

Didn’t receive your bill? If you did not receive your 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 28 cents of every dollar stay with the City to provide all municipal programs and services. Municipal services in Vaughan are provided by two tiers of government – the City of Vaughan and York Region. The City retains approximately $1,836 of an average $6,576 annual property tax bill to support critical services that residents rely on each day, including Vaughan 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.
