See below for instructions on how to ensure you don't miss a payment. Please note: any notice sent by ordinary mail is considered delivered to and received by the addressee within three business days unless it is returned by the Post Office, or an error in the mailing address is proven. Failure to notify the Finance Office of an address change in writing is not an error. Failure to receive a property tax bill does not exempt the customer from late payment charges. Please ensure the Municipality’s Finance Department has your correct mailing address.
