Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Tax Payment System Now Available! What is the Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Tax Payment Program? It’s a voluntary program authorizing your financial institution to make property tax payments on your behalf through automatic withdrawals from your bank account. How to enrol: It’s easy! Complete and return the application form along with a void cheque to the Municipal Office (address information is on the form). You must complete a separate application for each property. However, only one void cheque is required if all properties are to be paid from the same bank account. Once enrolled, you will receive a written notification confirming your acceptance in the program and outlining your payment schedule. In the meantime, you should continue to pay your taxes through your regular payment method. Who is eligible? If your tax account is in good standing, your property is fully assessed, and your taxes are not paid by a mortgage company, you are eligible to enrol. You must enrol at least 30 days in advance of the first scheduled payment and your account must remain in good standing while you are on the program. If your account is in arrears at any point in time, you may be removed from the program. Program Benefits: Convenient: No need to write cheques or stand in line on installment due dates. Economical: The program is free and you’ll save on postage, cheques, and interest charges. Secure: Your information is kept confidential and you don’t have to worry about lost/stolen cheques.
