Pay my taxes

When are the tax bills sent out?

Interim tax bills are sent out the end of January with payments due the end of February and the end of March.  Following the passing of the budget, final tax bills are sent out in late August with payments due September 30th and October 30th.

Can I pay my taxes at my bank?

At the present time, no. However you can pay by telephone or electronic banking.  Call your bank to set up payments to Oliver Paipoonge.  When paying taxes by telephone or electronically through your bank, you must enter the roll number of your property, which is located on your tax bill beginning with the number 5808, as your account vendor number.  Some banks require all of the numbers included in the roll number while others disregard the 5808 and use the remaining numbers.

My bank pays my taxes. Why do I still receive a tax bill?

Yes.  You will receive a tax notification that your taxes have been paid by the bank.

Do you accept credit payments?

No.  However we do accept credit card cheques.

What other payment options are available to me?

We accept post-dated cheques, money orders, personal cheques, and cash.  Cheques may be left at either branch of the Kakabeka Credit Union for a fee set by the Credit Union.  These cheques are forwarded to the Municipality on a regular basis.  Debit payment is not available at this time.

How are penalties and interest calculated?

Interest is calculated at 1.25% monthly on any outstanding balance.
