There are various ways that you can pay your property taxes in the Municipality of Port Hope: in person, by mail or through on-line banking. You can also sign up for e-billing, a convenient and faster method to receive your bill. 

Important Notice: Potential Postal Disruption
In light of a possible postal service disruption on May 22, the Municipality encourages all residents to consider transitioning to digital billing to avoid delays in receiving bills and to ensure timely payments.

Now is an ideal time to enroll in our convenient and secure electronic billing services:
- eBilling: Receive your municipal bills directly via email—eliminating reliance on traditional mail delivery.
- Virtual Town Hall: Access and view your bills online at your convenience. This secure, paperless platform is available 24/7, providing immediate access to your billing information from anywhere.

By switching to digital billing, you can help ensure uninterrupted service and avoid potential late fees due to postal delays.
