Monthly TIPP enrolment and changes
TIPP normally runs January-December and requires the tax account paid in full. Current-year enrolment closes June 15. After that, pay current taxes by June 30, then apply November 1-December 15 for the following year.
The monthly amount adjusts June 1 to reflect the new levy. Give written notice at least 15 days before the next withdrawal for sale/cancellation or bank changes. A new property needs a new application because TIPP does not transfer between properties.

Counters, credit cards and late penalties
Assessment and Tax at 2001 Sherwood Drive accepts cash, cheque and debit weekdays 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Bring the whole notice if a receipt is needed. OnlineVisa/Mastercard through Plastiq adds its own transaction charge and needs at least five days’ processing.
For 2026 unpaid current tax, the page lists penalties July 1 at 3%, August 1 at 6% and September 1 at 9%, each based on the unpaid current levy rather than adding the earlier penalty into that base. Prior-year arrears use a different January/February/March schedule.
