Treasury/Tax Department

Autumn SceneThe Treasury Department personnel are as follows:  Municipal Treasurer/Tax Collector/Lottery Licensing Officer  John Stenger; Assistant Treasurer Sara Leach; Receptionist/Accounting Assistant Nancy Richards.

The Treasury Department issues property tax bills two (2) times per year:

Interim Tax Bills  are issued at the beginning of March with installments due the last business day  in March and May.  Taxes owing are calculated based on 50% of the previous year’s Total Taxes.

Final Tax Bills  are issued at the beginning of September with installments due the last business day in September and November.  Taxes owing are calculated based on the current assessment (established by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, MPAC) multiplied by the current year’s Tax Rate (established by Council), less the Interim Billing.

Taxes & BenefitsIf you have concerns regarding the assessed value of your property you may contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to file a Request for Reconsideration (RfR).  The deadline for submitting a Request for Reconsideration is printed on your Property Assessment Notice.

To learn more about the RfR process and to download an application form please visit the MPAC website page.
