Municipal Taxes

Tax Notices:

Property and business tax statements are scheduled to be mailed out between late June and early July and cover the period from January 1 to December 31 of the current year.

Payment Deadline:   

Taxes are due by 5:00 PM on the last business day of August. Payments must be received by the Municipality during business hours to avoid penalties.

Note:  Postmarks are not accepted. Late payments will incur a 1.25% monthly penalty (15% annually).

Important Note on Online Payments:

If paying by e-Transfer or online banking, please allow 3–5 business days for processing. Payments must be received (not just sent) by the deadline to avoid penalties.

Penalties:

A penalty of 1.25% per month is applied to all outstanding balances on the 1st of each month until paid in full.

Didn’t Receive a Tax Statement?

Contact the Municipal Office at (204) 642-6650. It is the property owner’s responsibility to notify the office of any mailing address changes.

Property Ownership Changes:

If you’ve bought or sold property, please confirm with your solicitor who is responsible for the tax payment.
If the tax statement is addressed to a previous owner, forward it to the current owner or return it to the Municipal Office with an explanation.


 Note: Not receiving a bill does not exempt you from paying taxes or late penalties.

Payment Drop-Off:

A mail slot is available at the Municipal Office. However, payments must still be received by 5:00 PM on the due date to be considered on time.

Business Owners:

If your business has closed or relocated, please contact the Selkirk Assessment Office at 1-866-262-9786.
