​Access many City of Vaughan services from the comfort of home


Did you know you can access many City of Vaughan services from the comfort of home? Save yourself time and the drive to City Hall and get what you need online! 

Every month, the City releases the top services people are coming to City Hall for that can actually be done online. Here is the October update: 

1. Tax payment options and account information
Paying property taxes has never been easier or more convenient. There are many ways to pay all property tax bills:

  • Financial institutions: Either in-person, through the bank machine, online or via telephone.
  • 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.
  • Mailed: Cheque made payable to the City of Vaughan and sent in the return envelope enclosed with the tax stub, and mail in to our City Hall address.
  • Post-dated cheques: Cheques that correspond with the amounts and due dates printed on the tax stubs. 

If you would like to change or update the ownership on a tax file, the property owner must submit a request in writing. For more information, contact the tax office at 905-832-8502. If you would like to change your banking information on file, fill out the Pre-Authorized Payment Change of Banking Information Form (PDF). This form must be completed and received by the City’s Tax Department at least 15 days before the next withdrawal date to take effect.

3. Waste: What goes where?
Blue box, green bin or garbage – where does your waste belong? When sorting materials for disposal, you may be second-guessing what containers you should use. Don’t worry – the City has a variety of tools and resources available to help you choose the right bin for each item.
