Tax bill due dates

Interim property tax bills have been issued and reflect 50 per cent of your previous year’s taxes including any adjustment for supplementary taxes. 

Interim tax bills are due in two instalments:

  • March 8
  • May 8

If you haven’t received a tax bill, please contact us and we can help. Property owners are liable for property taxes and late penalties, even if you didn’t receive a tax bill.

If we don't receive your property tax payment by the due date, a late payment penalty of 1.25% will be issued on the day following the due date. An additional 1.25% will be charged each month that your property taxes remain unpaid.

Payment options

Pre-authorized payments
Pre-authorized payment plans allow you to set up automatic withdrawals from your bank account every month or on due dates. Sign up for pre-authorized payments at: severn.ca/taxes. 

Cheque

Pay by cheque (to Township of Severn) by mail (PO Box 159, Orillia, Ontario L3V 6J3), in person or by placing the payment in our drop box (1024 Hurlwood Lane, Severn).

Banking
Pay through online or telephone banking, or in person at a financial institution. Please use the 19-digit roll number found on your tax bill (numbers only, no hyphens or spaces) and select Severn Township or Township of Severn as the payee. We recommend doing a keyword search for Severn.

Where do my tax dollars go? 

For every dollar that you pay in property taxes, 0.44 cents goes to the Township of Severn. The rest of the money goes to the County of Simcoe (0.32 cents), local school boards (Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board and the Simcoe County District School Board, 0.17 cents) and policing (0.07 cents). We work to ensure that the portion of your taxes that goes to the Township is put toward important services and infrastructure that help keep our residents safe.

Here are some examples:

  • parks and recreation
  • planning and development
  • roads and bridge maintenance
  • public library
  • protection to persons and property
  • general government operations
