The deadline for the first instalment of the City of Vaughan’s 2023 final property taxes is fast approaching.

The first instalment will be due on Thursday, July 27, 2023. Future final property tax payments will be on Aug. 28 and Sept. 28, 2023.

As all City of Vaughan facilities are cashless, here are a few ways you can pay:

• Pre-authorized payment plans, including a six-instalment and a 10-instalment option.
• Postdated cheques, made payable to the City of Vaughan that correspond with the amounts and due dates printed on the payment stubs.
• Financial institutions, either in person, through the bank machine, online or via telephone.
• At city hall, placed in drop-off boxes at each entrance. Note: these boxes are getting an update. New box wraps are currently being installed.
• By mail, with a cheque payable to the City of Vaughan and sent in the return envelope enclosed with the payment stub.

If you have not yet received your final tax bill in the mail, the City of Vaughan is requesting residents contact the city immediately at 905-832-2281 or service@vaughan.ca. The City of Vaughan reminds residents that failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt residents from paying property taxes and late payment penalties will be added.

Property taxes help pay for critical infrastructure and services such as Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service, waste management, city planning and development, infrastructure replacement, maintenance of city facilities, bylaw and compliance, as well as other public works and road services.

Of every dollar paid, 28 cents stays in the city to pay for all municipal program and services, with the City of Vaughan retaining about $1,836 or on average about $6,576 annually.
