Payments can be made through banks or financial institutions, by cheque or in person at the City’s inquiry and payment counters. Locations and hours of operation are available at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/property-taxes-utilities/counter-locations/.
Property owners should pay early to ensure that payment reaches the City’s office before the due date.
Inquiry/payment counters at civic centres and Toronto City Hall will extend their operating hours from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Thursday, June 27 to Tuesday, July 2 (counters will not be open on the July 1 Canada Day holiday).
