Property tax bill address issue

If you haven’t received your interim property tax bill yet, you may be among those who have had their bills returned to the municipality for problems with the mailing address.

Municipal officials say Canada Post is no longer delivering bills based on Rural Route numbers or those that list General Delivery as an option as well as Post Office Boxes in some circumstances.

Canada Post has returned approximately 200 bills to the municipality as undeliverable.

With the March 1 due date on its way, anyone who hasn’t received a tax bill should contact the municipality at 519-360-1998.

The municipality can then update the address or offer property owners the opportunity to pick up their tax bills at the Civic Centre at 315 King Street West in Chatham.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt a property owner from the requirement from paying taxes.

If your tax bill still references a General Delivery or Rural Route number please contact the municipality to ensure the required address updates can be made to allow for future delivery of tax bills.
