Pay Your Property Taxes

The Town has many ways to accept payment for your property taxes, explore the various options below: 

To help you save time and avoid late payment charges, we offer two types of pre-authorized payment plans which automatically withdraw the amount(s) due from your bank account.

Installment Plan

Your regular tax bill is mailed to you as usual, but the amount due is automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the due date.

11-Month Plan

We spread out your taxes owing over 11 monthly payments instead of just two. We withdraw the same amount on the 30th of each month from November to August. Then, on the 30th of September, we will withdraw an adjusting amount that could be more or less than your normal payment to ensure that your yearly taxes are paid in full.

Supplementary and omitted tax bills are not included in payment plans

Supplementary and omitted tax bills are not part of the pre-authorized payment plans. You will have to pay them separately.

Sign up for a payment plan

Complete the pre-authorized payment plan form to sign up for either of our payment plans. Make sure to attach a void cheque or bank account information form from your financial institution, and send it to us:

  • Mail or in person at 3-5 Pineridge Gate, Gravenhurst, ON P1P 1Z3
