The Town of Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and Labrador, is reminding homeowners and business owners that 2026 property tax bills are due by March 31, 2026. This deadline gives local residents a chance to save money through early payment discounts while avoiding extra fees later in the year.
Residents who pay their residential taxes in full by the end of March will receive a 5% discount, provided they do not have any unpaid bills from previous years. This specific discount is only available for residential properties and does not apply to business or commercial owners.
Seniors aged 65 and older can qualify for an additional 5% discount if they pay their full balance by the deadline, bringing their potential total savings to 10%. To receive this extra discount, seniors must provide proof of their age to the town office when making their payment.
According to the 2026 Property Tax Notice, interest charges will begin for those who miss the final day of March. Starting April 1, 2026, an interest rate of 0.5% will be added to all unpaid tax balances every month.
Individuals who have not received their tax statements in the mail are encouraged to contact the town office immediately to confirm their records are correct. Checking these details early helps property owners ensure they can access available savings before the interest penalties begin.
