Pre-Authorized Payment Plans
The Township of Brock offers three different Pre-authorized Payment plans.
Option 1
- Pay your full installment amount as it becomes due four times a year directly from your bank account. No more postage fees to send your payment or forgetting to pay on time and incurring late fees or writing out costly cheques. You still receive a bill in the mail as usual but it will be marked do not pay and the full amount due will be withdrawn on the due date from your bank account of choice.
Option 2
- Pay your annual taxes with 11 equalized monthly payments. Your first six months payments will be based on the previous year's taxes, and the remaining five payments will be recalculated once the annual taxes are billed in June to ensure your full taxes are paid by the eleventh payment. While on this plan your account will not be charged any late penalty. If your annual taxes for 2016 are paid in full, sign up today to start your 2017 payment plan in January.
Option 3
- Falling behind in your taxes? Sign up for our Arrears Plan. Set up a monthly payment amount that will pay down your tax balance while staying within your budget. Contact the Tax Collector to establish an amount for your account. Automatic withdrawals will be taken from the bank account of your choice on the 20th of each month.
Property Tax Arrears -
If your account has fallen behind, please don't hesitate to contact our office to make payment arrangements. Partial payments are always accepted as long as an account is not in the registration process. Contact the Tax Collector today to arrange a payment plan that will work for you. All penalties must be paid prior to any portion of a payment being applied to the tax arrears. For more information on our collection procedures and what steps are taken in a tax sale process please visit
us online
or contact the Treasury Department discuss your options.
Commercial and Industrial Vacancies -
If your commercial or industrial property was vacant for more than 90 consecutive days in 2016, you may qualify for a Vacancy Rebate. Please visit our website or our office to obtain an application form and verify your property meets the qualifying criteria. Applications for the 2016 tax year must be received by February 28, 2017.
