Property Tax Procedures for 2022
How and where to pay your Property Taxes:
Property Taxes Paid by Mortgage Company
If your Property Taxes are paid through your mortgage company you are still required to claim the Home Owner Grant yourself. This can be done by the same methods listed above, through the Provincial website. Payments and Grants must be received by the due date to avoid the 10% penalty.
Home Owner Grant
If you are eligible, claiming your Home Owner Grant is an important part in the process of paying your Property Taxes. The Home Owner Grant must be claimed on the Provincial Government website before the due date (July 4th) . Neglecting to claim your Grant by the due date will result in a 10% penalty, as it is considered unpaid taxes. If your mortgage company remits your tax payment on your behalf, ensure that you claim the Grant as your mortgagor cannot do this for you. Claim your Home Owner Grant at Home Owner Grant Link.
Home Owner Grant Thresholds
The grant threshold for 2022 is $1,975,000. You may be able to claim the full regular grant amount if your property has an assessed or partitioned value of $1,975,000 or less.
If you meet all requirements but your property's assess or partitioned value is over $1,975,000, you may qualify for a grant at a reduced amount.
The grant is reduced by $5 for $1,000 of assessed value over $1,975,000. This means properties assessed up to $2,129,000 can receive a partial regular grant. Properties assess higher than $2,184,000 are not eligible for a home owner grant. These grant amounts apply in northern and rural areas only.
Pre-authorized Payment Plan for Property Tax
Would you like to set money aside for your next year's Property Taxes? The Property Tax Pre-authorized Prepayment Plan could be for you! This program offers a convenient method of paying your taxes in advance. The plan begins in August of the current year and continues through to May of the following year. When you join the prepayment plan, your monthly installment will be automatically deducted from your bank account. Simple interest will be paid by the Township on your prepayments. Application forms are available online or at the Municipal Hall.
If you are currently enrolled in the pre-payment plan, your Tax Notice will show the balance that is outstanding on your Property Tax account. Please note that even if you have overpaid your Property Taxes, you still must claim your Home Owner Grant on or before July 4th, 2022. The pre-authorized payment plan does not automatically renew - you must complete a new application annually.
