Which number do I use for payment?
Use the 15-digit property roll number. If it is missing, contact the Tax Section. Banks use different payee labels, so search for Ajax taxes and confirm the correct municipal tax payee rather than a utility or other account.

When is a mailed payment treated as received?
The town uses the date the payment is received and posted by Finance, not the mailing date. Bank and third-party payments also need processing time. Keep confirmation and arrange payment early enough for it to reach the account.

What is the late-payment penalty?
The published charge is 1.25% on the first business day of each month until payment is received. Payments first cover outstanding interest and then the oldest taxes. The town says staff cannot waive the legislated penalty.
