Financial Institutions
Payment can be made at most financial institutions on or before the due date.
Online Credit Card Payment
Online credit card payment using our eServices page. Follow the link and instructions to pay using Visa or Mastercard. A small fee is applicable.
By Mail
If you are mailing your payment please enclose the payment stub to ensure payment is applied to your account. Please write you tax roll number on the cheque. Make cheque payable to the "Town of Fort Erie" and mail it to 1 Municipal Centre Dr, Fort Erie, Ontario, L2A 2S6. Post-dated cheques are accepted.
Town Hall
Located at 1 Municipal Centre Dr and is open 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. Payment types accepted are cash, interact, cheque, and money order. Payment by credit card is NOT accepted in person at this time. Please use the drop box in the parking lot after business hours.
If a mortgage company or agent pays your tax bill, you must forward it to them. A receipt will be sent to you upon payment of your final bill.
Payment must be received at Town Hall no later than 4:30 pm on the due date. Any tax installment interest rate of 1.25% per month is added on the first day of each month after that. Payments on account are applied first toward the outstanding interest and penalty, then to the oldest unpaid taxes. The tax collector has no authority to waive penalties and interest for any reason whatsoever. Therefore, failure to receive a tax notice does not excuse the responsibility for payment of taxes and penalties.
If you wish to make payment arrangements, please get in touch at905-871-1600ext. 2315.
