Preauthorized Payment Plans

There are two types of tax pre-authorized payment plans available. This allows payments to be automatically withdrawn from your bank account on pre-determined dates.

11 month Payment Plan

The 11 month payment plan begins in January and continues monthly through to November. No payments are necessary for December. The first monthly payments are calculated based on the previous year's taxes. The final payments are calculated on the final amount due.
Residents will receive a letter notifying their new monthly amount.
Plans started through the year are pro-rated.
Monthly payments are either on the 1st of the 15th of each month.

Due Date Payment Plan

The due date plan withdraws the installment amount on the regular tax due dates.

Paying with your bank

Banks are not authorized to accept tax payments.

To pay your taxes through your bank, internet and telephone banking is best. You will need to enter the payee as "Brant County Tax" and will need your 19 digit roll number, starting with the numbers 2920.

Paying with your Mortgage Company

If your mortgage company is responsible for paying your taxes, be sure to forward your bill to them as soon as possible to make sure your payment occurs before the due date.

Fees added to taxes

Water or Wastewater accounts that are with Grandbridge Energy Inc. in arrears over 90 days may be added to your tax account
Dog licenses that are not paid in the current year may be added to your tax account

Penalty and Interest Charges

Penalty and/or interest is calculated on the overdue tax balance on the first day of each month, at a rate of 1.25% until paid.
Payment must be received on or before the due date to avoid late payment charges.
The County of Brant does not accept the postmark as proof of the date of receipt.
Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the owner from the obligation to pay taxes when due. Municipal Act, 2001 s343 (10).
