Additional tax rate information.

• 2024 Property Tax due dates are in MARCH 13, APRIL 10, JULY 10 and SEPTEMBER 11.
• Interim bill – billed at 50 % of last year’s total taxes, mailed out by February and due in March and April
• Final bill – based on current year assessment multiplied by current year tax rate less interim billed amount, mailed out by June and due in July and September
• If your tax bill stub states “DO NOT PAY – ACCOUNT ENROLLED IN PAP” OR  “DO NOT PAY – PAID BY MORTGAGE HOLDER” no additional payments are required from the property owner

**If you did not receive your tax notice, you are still responsible to ensure payments are made**

• Penalty and interest charges of 1.25 % will be added to installments not paid by the end of the month. Penalty and interest charges are applied on the first day of each month. Council and staff do not have the authority to waive or alter a penalty or interest charge for any reason. This policy is strictly applied to maintain fairness to all property owners.
• Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse a taxpayer from responsibility for payment.
• Reminder notices are mailed out annually in October. Any tax account with a past due balance of 2 years will be charged a $30 final notice fee on December 1st.  If not paid by the end of the year the tax registration process will begin which may result in your property being sold by Dysart et al.  

• The Assessment Act allows a municipality to issue a supplementary tax bill for new buildings, new homes, alterations, improvements or class changes. Supplementary assessments can be added for the current year and up to the two preceding years. Any questions concerning your supplemental assessment value please contact Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).
• Supplementary bills will be payable in two installments only; therefore new owners are advised to plan in advance for the eventual payment of these taxes.
• Supplementary bills are assigned 2 due dates and are in addition to any previously received tax bills.  Supplementary bills are not included in your PAP plan and will incur penalty at 1.25% if not paid by the due dates stated on the bill. 

• To make a change to the name or ownership on your property tax account, the Municipality of Dysart et al requires a copy of an updated registered deed as provided by your lawyer.
