Requesting a tax certificate

A tax certificate can be ordered by submitting your request in writing along with a cheque for $97 (per roll number).

The charge for a tax certificate is $200 (per roll number) if the request is to be expedited (1-2 business day turnaround).

Here’s how you can help:

• Do not blow or rake leaves or grass clippings onto the roadway
• Ensure vehicles do not overhang onto the road
• Keep basketball or hockey nets off the road and away from the edge of the curb
• Ensure waste containers are not placed on the road

Your help ensures sweep crews can efficiently clean and maintain our city.

Bill Schedule

Interim tax bill due dates

The City of Vaughan sends out two regular tax bills a year: interim and final. Contact the City immediately if a tax bill has not been received.  Tax bill re-prints are available for a fee per year, per statement.  Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt property owners from paying taxes and any penalties incurred for late payment.

Curbs are important to collect and transport water to storm drainage outlets. Defects are identified through routine patrols by City staff. Should repairs be required, work will be prioritized and scheduled.
