As the due date for the first installment of the 2022 Final Tax Bill is here, remember there are many ways to pay your tax bill.

• Drop Box: Cheques may be dropped in the afterhours drop box located at the front door of City Hall - please include the detachable portion of your bill if possible. We recommend that you place your cheque in a sealed envelope with “Tax Department” written on it. Please do not place cash in the drop box.
• Internet/telephone banking: Most financial institutions offer the "City of Owen Sound" or "Owen Sound City" as a payee. Be sure to pick "Taxes" to ensure that your payment is applied to the correct account.
• At your bank or trust company: Pay at the teller or through an ATM. You are responsible to pay any service charges levied by the provider. Please take the entire bill with you.
• Credit card: Payments may be completed through Paymentus. This secure, third-party online payment provider accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express for a convenience fee. Paymentus credit card payments can also be completed by calling 1-888-253-8916.

•  In Person: Payments can be made by cash, cheque, or debit in person at City Hall Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
