Payment Options in the event of a Canada Post Strike
In the event of a possible Canada Post mail service disruption, Tay Township has several options available for making payments promptly and securely.
Payment Options:
Pre-Authorized Payment Plans: Sign up for pre-authorized payments for taxes and water/wastewater billing. Forms are available at the Municipal Office or on our website.
Telephone and Online Banking: Payments can be made through most major financial institutions. For tax accounts, enter your 19-digit roll number (no spaces/dashes) and for water/wastewater accounts, enter the 8-digit account number (omit decimal).
In Person: Payments can be made at the Tay Municipal Office (450 Park Street, Victoria Harbour) via cash, cheque (payable to Tay Township), debit card, or money order. Please note: credit cards are not accepted for in-person payments.
Online Credit Card Payments: Payments can also be made online by credit card through Paymentus Corporation, a third-party service. Please note: service fees apply—2.5% for VISA/MasterCard, or 1.5% for VISA Debit/MasterCard Debit. Processing may take 2-3 business days. Pay Online by Credit Card.
After-Hours Drop Box: Cheques, along with your payment stub, can be placed in the After Hours Drop Box, located to the right of the front doors at the Municipal Office. Please do not place cash in the drop box.
In addition, Tay Township recently launched E-Billing, a convenient, and environmentally friendly way to receive your tax and water/wastewater bill directly to your email. If you choose to enroll, you will no longer receive a paper copy in the mail and notices will be sent directly to your email. Sign up today by completing the online E-Billing Enrollment Form.
If you have any questions, our Financial Services Department is here to help. Please don’t hesitate to call us at 705-534-7248 x227.
