Provided your tax account is up to date at your desired start date, your mortgage company is not paying taxes on your behalf and your property is fully assessed, you are eligible for the program. All tax amounts due prior to the desired start date must be paid in full; failure to do so will result in the application being rejected and returned to you.
How the Program Works
- Once the application is completed, attach a void cheque and mail the application to 2 Wellington St. W, Brampton ON L6Y 4R2 or fax to 905-874-2296 prior to the close of the enrolment period.
- In December (Interim Billing Start), you will receive a notice advising of the instalment amounts for the Interim Billing of the next year. Please note, your interim taxes will be calculated using your previous year’s annualized taxes.
- In June (Final Billing Start), you will receive a notice advising of the instalment amounts for the Final Billing. The amount will be based on the current tax year’s assessment minus the Interim Billing.
Please Note: If you are moving, your PTP is not transferable; a new application form and void cheque must be submitted. If you require further assistance, please call the tax office at 905.874.2000.
Bank Account Changes and Program Cancellation
For changes or cancellation from the program, written notice is required at least 30 days before the next withdrawal date. A new void cheque must be submitted for any bank account changes.
Penalties and Charges
An administration fee will be applied to your account for payments not cleared by your financial institution. In addition, a penalty of 1.25% will be added to your account. Payment must be received by the specified due date or the account may be removed from the PTP plan. Penalty and Interest charges cannot be waived.
