Pre-authorized payment plan (PAP)

We encourage the payment of your tax bill through the pre-authorized tax payment plan (PAP). Enrollment in PAP can occur at any time in the year when the account is up to date, and the property has been fully assessed.

There are three options for PAP:

• Option #1 - 10 Month Installment Plan, Feb-Nov, withdrawal date is the 15th of each month (the account must be current, and the home must be fully assessed).
• Option #2 - Installment Plan, withdrawal date is the regular scheduled tax due dates (four times per year).
• Option #3 - Arrears Plan, assists those who have arrears in catching up with their taxes. Pre-determined withdrawal amounts are taken on the 15th of each month.

To join our PAP,  please fill out the pre-authorized payment form (property taxes) and email it to our Tax Department.

To cancel your PAP plan, or change your banking information on your existing plan, please fill out the property tax and water/sewer bill stop/change form, and email it to our Tax and Water Services Department.

Online/phone banking through your bank

You can set the Town up as a payee through online banking and make bill payments at your convenience. Most chartered banks have the payee name listed as East Gwillimbury taxes, your account number is your roll number (including the last four zeros, no spaces or decimal).

Please consider the banks processing time when making payments close to due dates. Payments must be received by the due date to avoid late payment charges.

If you have complications finding the Town as a payee, please contact your bank directly.
