2026 Property Tax Due Dates

New in 2026: Property tax payments will be due on the last business day in June, and September. This change is designed to provide residents with greater convenience when paying property taxes.

Why the due date has been extended:

·       To give taxpayers additional time and flexibility to make their payments

·       To better accommodate in-person payments at Town Hall

·       To allow extra processing time for payments made through banks or by mail

·       To support residents by offering extended Town Hall hours around key payment dates

Extended Town Hall hours (June due date):

·       Monday, June 29: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

·       Tuesday, June 30: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Please remember that your payment MUST be received by the Town by the due date to avoid late payment fees. If you are paying online, allow three to five business days for your payment to reach the Town and plan accordingly to ensure it is received on time. Payments not received by Tuesday, June 30, 2026, are subject to a penalty charge of 1.25 per cent on the first day of default and the first day of each calendar month so long as non-payment continues.

Payment can be made in the following ways:

1.    By pre-authorized payment plan: visit whitby.ca or call Town Hall at the number below for more information.

2.    By internet or telephone banking: inquire at your financial institution.
