COLLECTION 

TAX MATTERS!
The town's budget is based on the collection of levied taxes in a prompt and efficient manner. When taxes are not paid the town is left to resort to collection through the various methods provided for in the Municipalities Act. As with any action taken to collect monies owed, this is unpleasant, time consuming and costly - regardless of the method used.

As unpleasant as it is, it is imperative that the town carry out its responsibility to the town's residents and property owners with consistent and firm attempts to collect arrears of taxes. It is important to remember that the majority of people conscientiously pay their taxes on time each year... Thank you!

If you have not paid your taxes to date, please make it a priority to do so. It should also be noted that the town will carry out garnishment of wages for Poll  tax arrears. The town may also hold property auctions, pursuant to Section 141 of theMunicipalities Act.

The support and encouragement of residents is greatly appreciated and your written comments and suggestions are always welcome. Regular Council Meetings are usually held on the second Thursday in every month. All meetings are open to the public.
