The Municipality of Thames Centre online payment system is built and managed by a 3rd party payment vendor, Paymentus. A convenience fee of 2.5% is charged by Paymentus and is added to each online transaction. The fee covers payment handling and processing charges. Thames Centre receives no additional revenue from the convenience fee. The maximum amount per payment is $10,000.

Thames Centre issues an interim property tax bill and final property tax bill each year. Thames Centre has 4 property tax installments which are due:

February 28 and May 30 for the interim property tax bill
August 29 and October 30 for the final property tax bill

The interim property tax bill is issued in February and is estimated at 50% of your prior year's property taxes. The final property tax bill is issued in August, and reflects the current year's property taxes less the interim billing.

If you do not pay your taxes through your mortgage company, there are several payment options available to you.
