Property owners in Owen Sound are reminded that the next installment of their interim property taxes is due by Thursday, April 30, 2026. This payment represents the second of four installment dates for the current tax year.
The City of Owen Sound provides several ways for residents to make their payments. Options include in-person payments at City Hall using cash, cheque, or debit, as well as payments through a bank, an automated teller machine, internet or telephone banking, and mail. Residents may also use the city’s pre-authorized payment plan or pay by credit card through the Virtual City Hall portal, though the latter option includes a 2.5 per cent processing fee.
It is important for property owners to submit their payments on time to avoid extra costs. Any outstanding tax amounts that are not paid by the due date will be subject to a late penalty charge of 1.25 per cent, which is applied on the first of each month.
The city has also established several Property Tax Relief Programs to assist those who may qualify, including a heritage property tax rebate, a rebate for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, and tax relief for registered charities. Anyone with specific questions regarding their bill can contact the property tax department by calling 519-376-1440 extension 1249 or by emailing [email protected].
