Paying Property Taxes

Please be advised the balance provided may not be current. It may take up to 5 business days to reflect transactions on your account. To request current account balances, please contact 519-268-7334. The Municipality of Thames Centre accepts no responsibility or liability for the accuracy, content, completeness, or legality of the financial information provided. Failure to pay the current balance on your account may result in penalties or interest.

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.
