Should your installment payment be received by the Town subsequent to the due dates, you will be liable for late payment penalty and interest in accordance with the policies below.

Late Payment Penalty Policy

Authority to levy Interest Charges is provided under Section 345.(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001 and administered through a Town By-Law 065-10.

If you are planning to make these payments electronically through your financial institution, please do so 2-3 business days prior to the due dates to ensure your payment reaches the Town in time. Post-dated cheques for all due dates can be sent to the Town at any time to be processed on the date you have selected. Payments must be received at the Town Hall (including the Town Hall's drop box) on or before the due date in order to avoid charges.

Failure to receive a Property Tax Bill does not relieve the owners responsibility for payments due nor liability for penalty and interest charged. As a result, please notify the Town of Innisfil as soon as possible if there are any changes to your mailing address. Furthermore, since Late Payment Penalty and Interest Charges are levied under Town By-Laws, staff do not have the authority to reduce or cancel these charges for any reason.
