I just purchased a property in the Town of Ste. Anne, when will I receive my Tax Bill, and can I apply for the Resident Tax Credit?
When you purchase a property part way through a calendar year, you or your lawyer will make arrangements of who is responsible for what portions of the taxes charged. The Education Property Tax Credit available from the province can be applied for if you are the owner and resident of a property as of January 1 of the given year. Otherwise, you must apply for this tax credit when you complete your income tax form.
I sent in a payment for the amount that was stated on my tax bill but yet I received a receipt showing there are still taxes owing. Why?
If there were arrears owing on the tax statement, then the tax amount due would change each month because of the monthly penalty charge.
Also, if supplemental property taxes were issued after the general property tax amounts were calculated and printed, this would not be reflective in the amount shown on the property tax bill. Supplemental taxes are due later in the year, and the supplemental tax bills are sent separately from the general tax bills.
Is there a discount for paying taxes early?
No. There is no discount for early payment.
What if I want to make an early payment for taxes?
Any tax payments that are paid prior to receipt of the tax bill will be credited towards the tax account.
What is the penalty/interest rate charged on overdue property taxes?
A 1.25% interest rate is charged per month on the overdue balance.
When are the tax bills sent out?
Tax bills are usually mailed out in June of each year.
