Listed below are the various methods of payment for tax bills:

Town Hall

Our office is open for Town Business during regular business hours from Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm.

For your convenience a night deposit box is located to the right of the main doors off the customer parking lot of Town Hall.

Mail

Make your cheque payable to the Town of LaSalle and return by mail along with the payment stub. If separate tax rolls are not identified, payment may be allocated to one roll resulting in penalty and interest charges to other rolls not identified.

Post Dated Cheques

You may post-date your cheques to the installment due dates. Please write the property roll number on the cheques and include the payment stubs. If separate tax rolls are not identified, payment may be allocated to one roll resulting in penalty and interest charges to other rolls not identified.

If a post dated cheque is no longer required (ie. due to house sale), please notify the Town of LaSalle to pull and return / void the post dated cheque in order to prevent NSF bank fees.

Telephone/Internet Banking

Tax bills can be paid through your financial institution. Please contact your local branch for more information.

Please note that when paying through your financial institution, it may take a few days for the payment to be processed and sent to us. If we receive the payment after the due date, a late fee is automatically added to your account. Be sure to make your payment a few days ahead of the due date to prevent this from happening. 

Payments must be received by The Town of LaSalle by the due date.

Mortgage Company

If your tax bill is paid by your mortgage company, you will receive a tax bill and your mortgage company will receive a tax listing. You will receive a final tax bill in June for your records and for income tax purposes.

How do I terminate the PAP Plan?

If you wish to withdraw from the Plan, please notify the Tax Department in writing no later than seven business days prior to the due date in which payment is to stop or bank account information is to change. If the resident fails to notify the Town in advance of a PAP, no refunds will be made and the resident must go to their lawyer to have him / her make the adjustment.

The Town of LaSalle may cancel the privilege of continuing the Plan if two payments fail to be honoured in the taxation year. Any unpaid taxes due to a payment not being honoured shall be subject to penalties if overdue.

What if I move or change my bank?

Please notify the Tax Department in writing no later than seven business days prior to the due date in which payment is to occur if you move or change your bank account. The Town requires a new void cheque if you move or change bank accounts. Banking information does not automatically move from one account to another. It is the responsibility of the resident to update their records with the Tax Department.

Is the PAP Plan confidential and safe?

Yes. The Town of LaSalle's bank handles all of the payment transactions. Access to your account is limited solely to withdrawal monthly tax payment funds as authorized. Your account information is not available to the Town.

What if there's not enough money in my account on the due date?

Many banks and other financial institutions offer an overdraft protection service. This service will protect you if there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the monthly tax payment. You may wish to contact your bank to find out more about overdraft protection.

Non-sufficient funds (NSF) and other Returned Payments

A $50 service charge applies to all returned payments. Payment, including the service charge, must be paid within 10 business days to remain on this payment plan. Penalty charges also apply. Two or more returned payments can result in your account being removed from this pre-authorized payment plan.
