The County of Brant recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for many households and businesses to pay their bills in full and on time.  In response, the County of Brant is providing relief on late payment charges on taxes, water and wastewater and accounts receivable.

This relief means that charges for late payments and interest will not be added from January 1 to March 31, 2021.  Any late payment charges prior to this period are due and payable.  The relief does not mean that the amount of the bill is being reduced. The bill remains due and payable. Efforts should be made to pay as much as you can afford.

If you have questions or need help with managing late payments for the items listed above, please contact us at 519.44-BRANT x 2290 or tax@brant.ca.

For online payment options, visit the Online Services webpage.

Online payments are now accepted for:
Bulk water, account receivable invoices, dog tags, building and planning applications and property tax.

Those who take part in the pre-authorized payment program for taxes, please contact the County’s tax department if you would like to opt out of the payment plan. Contact tax@brant.ca or phone 519.449.2451.

Municipal taxes can be paid by:

  • Online/telephone banking through your financial institution OR
  • In the drop boxes at the addresses listed below:
    • Oakland: 3 King St. N., Oakland
    • Onondaga: 734 Highway 54, Onondaga
    • St. George: 7 Gaukel Dr., St. George
    • Burford Administration: 26 Park Ave., Burford
    • Paris Customer Service: 66 Grand River St. N., Paris

For help with online banking, contact your bank or credit union.

Credit Card 

You can now pay your taxes online by credit card. Please note, to pay by credit card there will be a fee of 2.6% in addition to your payment. 

To pay by credit card, please fill out our Credit Card Payment Form. 

In Person

Please note as of Saturday, April 3 at 12:01am, the County of Brant has entered the provincewide Emergency Brake. 

All County of Brant Customer Service offices are closed during this time.

You can drop off your payment via cheque in a drop-off box at any customer service office.

By Mail

You can mail a cheque payable to "County of Brant" to our County of Brant Burford office mailing address.

Paying by Cheque

  • Include the instalment stub with your payment to make sure we credit it properly to your account
  • Write your property roll number(s) directly on any cheque
  • You can submit post-dated cheques for due date payments

Through your Mortgage Company

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

Through Pre-Authorized Payment Plan

We can automatically withdraw payments from your bank account on pre-determined dates.

Learn more about the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan.

Unacceptable Method of Payment

You cannot pay your property taxes using the following methods:

  • Over-the-counter payment at banks

Keep your bills and receipts safe. You will have to pay a fee to get a duplicate tax bill or written receipt.

For income tax purposes, normally only the amount on the Ontario Tax Credit schedule is needed. You do not need to send a copy of your tax bill or a receipt unless you are specifically asked.

Late Payments

Penalty and/or interest are calculated on the overdue tax balance the first day of every month at a rate of 1.25% until paid. Payment must be received on or before the due date to avoid these charges. The County does not accept the postmark as proof of the date of receipt.

If you do not receive a tax bill, you are still responsible for paying it and you are still liable for the penalty for late payment. The County tax collector has no authority to waive or change penalty and/or interest charges for any reason.

If you make a payment at the bank, there is no guarantee that the payment will be made on time.
