Paying Your Taxes
Property Assessments
Tax Incentive Programs
We collect revenue through property taxes to provide municipal services and programs for residents. Taxes provide the main source of revenue for the Municipality, County and School Boards.
How are my property taxes calculated?
Properties are assigned a tax class depending on the use or purpose of the property. The annual tax rates are set according to the annual operating and capital budget and applied to each tax class. The tax levy is calculated by using the applicable tax rate and the assessed value of each property.
There is an annual waste management fee added for each household. This fee will be added to the tax bill and this amount is designated to offset capital expenditures at the Landfill sites that are used by each household.
To learn more about how your property taxes are calculated watch the 'How Property Tax is Calculated' video.

Failure to receive your tax bill and /or awaiting an adjustment (request for reconsideration; appeal; farm tax credit, etc.) does not excuse a taxpayer from responsibility for payment of the taxes nor relieve liability for penalty due to late payment.

E-mail of Future Property Tax Bills or Sewer/Water Bills
In an effort to become more efficient and effective in processing Property Tax and Sewer/Water Bills, the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie is offering residents and businesses the opportunity to receive these bills by e-mail as opposed to regular mail. We see this green initiative as a value added service to the residents and business owners of Arran-Elderslie and hope that you agree.
Please fill out an online form or contact the Municipal Office for a paper copy of the form to switch from receiving your Property Tax or Sewer/Water Bills in the mail to receiving them by e-mail.
