Mailing Address Change Form

It is the responsibility of all property owner's to ensure that the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake has up-to-date information regarding ownership and mailing addresses. Failure to receive a bill does not excuse a taxpayer from the responsibility of payment of taxes and penalty.
Interim Tax Bills are calculated using the following formula:
Present Year Assessment x ½ of Last Years Tax Rate
Owners of Residential or Farm properties can calculate their annual taxes by multiplying the property’s assessment by the appropriate tax rates.
Property Tax Bills for portions assessed (in whole or in part) in the Commercial, Industrial or Multi-Residential classification are subject to Capping Legislation. Therefore Final taxes are not limited to the Assessment multiplied by the Tax rates otherwise referred to as CVA taxes.
