Our pre-authorized payment plan is available to set-up automatic, on-time payments. Choose your payment option:
- Installment Due Dates - payment withdrawn on the last business day of February, April, June and September for the installment amount shown on your residential tax bill;
- Monthly - 1st or 15th of each month; or
- Semi-monthly - 1st and 15th of each month.
If your account is in arrears, please contact Service Oshawa for more information.
How payment amounts are calculated
Your annual property taxes divided by the number of months in the year will give you the payment amount.
Monthly example: annual property taxes $2,400 divided by 12 months = $200 per month.
Semi-monthly example: annual property taxes $2,400 divided by 24 payments = $100 per payment.
