Property Tax Rates and Forms

Municipal Tax Billing 2024

Once the annual budgets (Municipality of Hastings Highlands, Hastings County and Hastings School Boards) are completed, the annual tax rates are then compiled and applied to the property assessments, as set out in the Provincial Regulations which require the County (Upper Tier) to establish any required tax policies; and which determines the property owner’s taxes for the current year.

Interim bills are sent out February 2024 and final in July 2024.

If you have not received your tax bill by the end of February (Interim Tax Bill) or the end of July (Final Tax Bill), please contact our office.

There is penalty and/or interest added on the 1^st day of each month at a rate of 1.25%. You must make sure the payment reaches our office before the due date.
