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 This allows payments to be automatically withdrawn from your bank account on pre-determined dates.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.

To sign up for preauthorized payment plans, complete our Property Taxes Pre-Authorized Payment Plan for Property Taxes webform.

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.

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.
