Bill Payments

Listed below are the various methods of payment for tax bills:

Pre-Authorized Payment

Ensure your payment is on time and avoid lineups and penalty charges with our Pre-Authorized Payment Plan. See "Pre Authorized Payment Plan" below.

Town Hall
Please bring complete bill if making payments at our office.  Town Hall hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.  For your convenience a night deposit slot is located at the front southwest door closest to the parking lot.

To avoid waiting in line at the tax counter, a deposit box is located in the tax department.

Mail
Make your cheque payable to the Town of LaSalle and return by mail along with the payment stub.

Post Dated Cheques
You may post-date your cheques to the instalment due dates.  Please write the property roll number on the cheques and include the payment stubs.

Telephone/Internet Banking
Tax bills can now be paid through your financial institution.  Please contact your local branch for more information.

Mortgage Company
If your tax bill is paid by your mortgage company, you will not receive a tax bill.  All information is sent directly to your mortgage company.

Pre-Authorized Payment Plan

There are four (4) options available for the PAP plan.  Two Monthly Automatic Tax Payment Plans and the Due Date Tax Payment Plan are available for up to date tax accounts.  The Budget Plan is available for tax accounts in arrears for one or more years.

1.  Monthly Payment Plan - 10 Monthly Payments
Payments begin February 15th of each year and continue on the fifteenth of each month through to November 15th of each year.  No payments are necessary in January and December.

The first 5 monthly payments are calculated by the Town based on the previous years taxes and are deducted from your bank accounts in accordance with your authorization.

The final 5 payments are calculated on the final amount due based on approved current tax rates.  You are notified by mail at the beginning of the year and in June of your monthly payment amount.

Registration for this plan must be received one month prior to your first desired deduction date.

2.  Due Date Tax Payment Plan - 4 Payments
Payments are withdrawn on the regular tax due dates.  Registration for this plan must be received one month prior to the due date on which you want to start with the plan.

Payments begin January 20th of each year and continue on the twentieth of each month through to December 20th of the current year. 

The first 6 monthly payments are calculated by the Town based on the previous years taxes and are deducted from your bank accounts in accordance with your authorization.

The final 6 payments are calculated on the final amount due based on approved current tax rates.  You are notified by mail at the beginning of the year and in June of your monthly payment amount.

Taxes must be up to date prior to registering in the Plan.  Interest will not be calculated.

4.  Budget Plan - 12 Monthly Payments

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Eligible?
You are eligible to join the PAP Plan if your current property tax payments are up to date.  If you have arrears on your account, they must be paid prior to enrolment in the Monthly or Due Date Payment Plans.  If you have one or more years of arrears you are eligible for the Budget Payment Plan only.

How do I join?
Joining the plan is easy and free.

1. Complete the "Pre-Authorization form".

2. Attach a void cheque to your completed application form and mail to:
   Town of LaSalle Tax Department - PAP Application
   5950 Malden Rd., LaSalle, ON N9H 1S4

How do I terminate the PAP Plan?
If you wish to withdraw from the Plan, please notify the Tax Department in writing thirty (30) days prior to your withdrawal date.

The Town of LaSalle may cancel the privilege of continuing the Plan if two payments fail to be honoured in the taxation year.  Any unpaid taxes due to a payment not being honoured shall be subject to penalties if overdue.

What if I move or change my bank?
Please notify the Tax department immediately at 519-969-7770 x 230 if you move or change your bank account.

Is the PAP Plan confidential and safe?
Yes.  The Town of LaSalle's Bank handles all of the payment transactions.  Access to your account is limited solely to withdrawal monthly tax payment funds as authorized.  Your account information is not available to the Town.

What if there's not enough money in my account on the due date?
Many banks and other financial institutions offer an overdraft protection service which will protect you if there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the monthly tax payment.  You may wish to contact your bank to find out more about overdraft protection.
