Tax certificates and statements of account - Government

The Tax Certificate can be a useful tool when used during the sale or purchase of the property.
In addition to taxes levied and outstanding, the Tax Certificate advises when property owners are enrolled in a program that requires some action before the closing date such as a pre-authorized payment plan or a tax deferral program.
The Tax Certificate also identifies if the property owner has other debts to the municipality which are yet to be added to the tax roll.
A minimum of three business days is required to issue a Tax Certificate.
Property owners, who must supply proof of identity, or those who present a Power of Attorney or Authorized Representative form, may receive verbal tax account and property information. Conditions apply.
Effective January 1, 2023, the cost of a tax certificate is $63.00, payable to Norfolk County.

Effective January 1, 2023, the fee for a tax statement is $9.10 per property, per year.
