      The Township of Springwater issues an interim tax bill and final tax bill each year. Instalments are due:

      • February and April for the interim tax bill
      • July and September for the final tax bill

      Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse an owner from payment, or relieve them from any late payment charges. If you do not receive your bill, please contact the Finance Department. 

      Payments

      You must pay your taxes by the due date. A late payment charge applies to all past due taxes at a rate of 1.25% each month. If your mortgage company or other third party pays your taxes, forward the bill immediately to them for payment. 

      Payment options

      Pay your taxes in any of the following ways:

      • Through a pre-authorized debit (PAD) plan
        • PAD application form (online)
        • PAD application form (PDF)
        • PAD cancellation form
      • Through your My Springwater account
        • with the following participating financial institutions: First Nations Bank of Canada, RBC, TD and most credit unions
      • By mail to the municipal office (cheques only)
      • In person during operating hours by cash, cheque and debit (after-hours drop box available)
      • At your bank:
        • Telebanking (requires 19-digit roll number)
        • Internet banking (requires 19-digit roll number)
        • Direct payment (provide your tax bill)

      PAD plans will not withdraw supplemental or omitted tax bills automatically unless you contact the Township with authorization.

      Supplemental and omitted tax bills

      The Township bills supplementary and omitted assessments separately from the regular billing cycle, and issues them throughout the year. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) provides the Township with supplementary or omitted assessment values for the current year and up to two years prior when:

      • Land value is omitted from the assessment roll
      • Use of the property changes
      • Property is improved due construction, an addition, or renovation

      You will receive a Property Assessment Change Notice from MPAC informing you of the supplemental or omitted assessed value and date. Supplementary or omitted property tax bills are typically due in two instalments regardless of the number of years for which you are billed.

      Estimate your supplementary or omitted tax bill for a new property

      MPAC determines your assessed value. If you haven't received your notice of supplementary assessment value from MPAC, you can use the purchase price as a guide to set aside funds in anticipation of receiving a supplementary or omitted tax bill. As an estimate, multiply the purchase price (or supplementary assessment value) by the applicable year's tax rate.

      Tax rates and capping parameters

      The Township calculates your tax bill by multiplying your property assessment value by the tax rate, and adding the policing services charge. If you don't agree with the value of your property assessment, contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722 or visit MPAC online.
