The County of Prince Edward reminds taxpayers that Wednesday, March 15 is the deadline to pay 2023 interim tax bills for all properties.
The municipality sent the 2023 interim tax notices for all properties on February 16, 2023 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 15, 2023 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 strongly encouraged to make payments online or by mail to reduce in-person contact and line-ups at the Edward Building customer service office. 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 County has compiled a list of resources for residents who are struggling to make tax and water bill payments. County Council unanimously approved the continuation of the Municipal Financial Relief Program to support low-income households in Prince Edward County at the February 24 budget meeting. The program, which began as a pilot in 2022, will be offered with expanded eligibility in 2023. Read more about the Municipal Financial Program.
E-billing available – If you are interested in going paperless, please complete and submit the registration form. E-billing reduces paper waste and allows you to view your most recent bill as soon as it is available.
