Through your bank |
You can pay your property taxes like any other bill through online or telephone banking, or at your financial institution. Your 15 digit roll number (XXX-XXX-XXXXX-0000) is used as your account number. |
At the Tax Office |
You can pay by cash, cheque or debit card at the Tax Office in City Hall during regular business hours. Note: City Hall is closed to in-person service as part of the provincewide shutdown related to COVID-19 from December 26, 2020 to January 22, 2021. |
By cheque |
Cheques can be mailed to the Tax Office, dropped off in person, or placed in our secure black drop-box located by the steps at the front doors of City Hall, 500 George St. N. |
By credit card |
Credit card payments for property taxes are not accepted directly by the City of Peterborough. However, property taxes can be paid online by credit card using an online bill payment service provider such as PaySimply, Plastiq or Paytm. |
Late payment charges
Penalty and interest will be charged on taxes which are not paid on or before the due dates. Penalty on outstanding property tax amounts is charged on the first day of each month at a rate of 1.25% (15% annually).
