Being a by-law to provide for the adoption of 2026

Whereas, Section 290 of The Municipal Act, 2001 S.O. 2001 c.25, provides
that Council shall pass a by-law to levy a separate tax rate on the
assessment in each property class; and Sections 307, 308 require tax rates
to be established in the same proportion of tax ratios with exceptions; and
Whereas, the 2026 Tax Levy for General Own Purposes has been set at
$8,301,985.00; and
Whereas, the County of Renfrew has passed by-laws to establish the
County tax rates and to adopt optional tools for purposes of administering
limits for the Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Residential Property Classes
and these tax rates are included on Schedule "A" to this by-law; and
Whereas, the Provincial Government through Regulation 400/98 as
amended has established the tax rates for school purposes and these tax
rates are included on Schedule "A" to this by-law; and
Whereas, Section 345(1)(2)(3) provide for penalties for non-payment of
taxes and interest on tax arrears;
Now therefore Council of the Corporation of the Township of
Whitewater Region enacts as follows:

levy shall become due and payable on the 31st day of August, 2026
and the balance of the final levy rounded to the whole dollar shall
become due and payable on the 30th day of October, 2026 and
non-payment of the amount, as noted, on the dates stated in
accordance with this section shall constitute default.
5.

one and one quarter per cent shall be added on the 1st day of each
and every month the default continues, until December 31st, 2026.
6.
That on all taxes in default on January 1st, 2027, interest of (1¼)

By-law 25-05-1836
7.
That penalties and interest added in default shall become due and
payable and shall be collected as if the same had originally been

rates and to adopt optional tools for purposes of administering limits for
