BRAMPTON, ON – The City of Brampton issues property tax bills twice each year through an interim bill and a final bill. Instalments allow residents to spread payments across the year instead of paying the full amount at once.
Interim property tax bills were mailed to residents in January 2026. The interim bill covers the first six months of the year and is paid in three instalments, each covering two months. Interim taxes are generally based on 50 per cent of the previous year’s annual property taxes and are adjusted for any cancellation or supplementary taxes, recalculated as if they applied for the full year.
For properties not on last year’s tax roll, interim taxes are approximately 50 per cent of a full year’s estimated taxes. Any changes to assessed value or tax amounts appear on the final tax bill, issued later in the year.
Interim payment due dates:
- February 18, 2026
- March 18, 2026
- April 22, 2026
Payments must be received by the City on or before the due date to avoid penalties or interest.
The final property tax bill covers the last six months of the year. Final bills are typically issued in June, with instalment due dates in July, August and September.

Avoid late fees by paying property taxes on time
The City charges 1.25 per cent interest per month on unpaid balances, starting the first day a payment is missed. Over a year, interest adds up to approximately 15 per cent. Paying by the due date helps avoid late fees.
How instalment payments support City services
Property tax instalments provide predictable revenue throughout the year. This steady funding supports financial stability and long-term planning, helping essential services continue without interruption.
Early-year services such as snow clearing rely on property tax revenue collected through instalment payments. This approach supports responsible cash flow management and reliable services residents depend on year-round.
Where property tax dollars go
Property taxes support everyday services residents use across Brampton. Transit, fire services, libraries, road maintenance, snow clearing and recreation programs rely on property tax funding. Each dollar collected contributes to maintaining neighbourhoods, improving public spaces and delivering services that support a safe, connected and vibrant community.
Property taxes support multiple levels of local government. The City of Brampton collects property taxes on behalf of the City, the Region of Peel and the Province of Ontario for education. The City’s share represents only part of the total tax bill.
