The County of Prince Edward reminds taxpayers that Monday, March 16, 2026 is the deadline to pay 2026 interim tax bills for all properties.
The municipality sent out the 2026 interim tax notices for all properties on February 12, 2026 by mail or by email to those enrolled in electronic billing.
Failure to receive a tax notice does not absolve the property owner from any taxes due or from penalty charges for late payment. Accounts in arrears will be subject to interest of 1.25% on March 17, 2026, and on the first day of each month that they remain unpaid.
If you did not receive your tax notice, please contact the Tax Department by email at tax@pecounty.on.ca or by phone at 613.476.2148 extension 1530.
Property owners are encouraged to make payments online or by mail. The following methods of payment are available:
- Electronic payments through online or telephone banking services by searching “Prince Edward” and selecting the payee that references County Taxes. Use the roll number (no dashes) as the account number.
- Mail a cheque made payable to “The County of Prince Edward” to 332 Picton Main Street, Picton, ON K0K 2T0.
- Pre-authorized payment Register using the online enrollment form.
- Cheque payments can also be left in the drop box located to the left of the Shire Hall front entrance at 332 Picton Main Street, Picton.
- Payments can be made at most financial institutions by taking a copy of the bill directly to the bank branch.
Additional information is available by emailing tax@pecounty.on.ca or by calling 613.476.2148 extension 1530.
Help with payments – The municipality has compiled a list of resources for residents who are struggling to make tax and water bill payments. The Municipal Financial Relief Program to support low-income households in Prince Edward County will continue in 2026. Application dates and more information for 2026 will be announced this spring.
E-billing available – The paper version of the 2026 interim tax bill includes instructions and a unique keycode for signing up to receive tax bills electronically. E-billing reduces paper waste and allows you to view your most recent bill as soon as it is available. If you have any issues with signing up for e-billing email tax@pecounty.on.ca or call 613.476.2148 extension 1530.
