  • For residential properties, you can pay your interim tax bill in three instalments by the due dates on the bill

Payment due dates

The due date(s) to pay your property taxes are shown on your tax bill. Any outstanding balances on your bill must be paid immediately. The City does not offer any discounts if you pay your taxes in advance.

If you have not received your tax bill, call 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits) or email tax@mississauga.ca.

Late payment charges

Late payment charges are set by City by-laws and can’t be changed or waived.

If you pay your property tax after the instalment due date, a late payment charge of 1.25% of the instalment amount owing is applied. The late payment charge is added the day after your payment is due.

An additional 1.25% charge on any amount owing is added on the first day of every month until you pay the full amount.

  • For example, if your due date is October 1, the late payment charge will be added on October 2. If you don’t pay the full amount by October 31, the late payment charge will be applied on November 1.

If your financial institution doesn’t clear your payment, a service charge (listed in the general fees and charges by-law) will be added to your account.
