Property Taxes
Welcome to Norfolk County Tax Services. Based on the County’s annual budget, and the returned assessment roll, tax rates are established and billed against the rateable assessment for each property.
From time to time the County receives notifications from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation and the Assessment Review Board to reduce and / or increase property assessment. After receiving the appropriate notification, Tax Services then adjust the appropriate tax account and notify the applicable property owner accordingly.
Tax bills are issued twice per year and there are four installments.
Interim Tax Bills are due on the last business day of March and the last business day of May.
Final Tax Bills are due on the last business day of August and the last business day of October.
The final bills are calculated after the annual operating and capital budgets have been approved by the Council and the education tax rates have been set by the Province of Ontario.
