Paying Property Taxes

The Municipality of Brockton offers e-billing services in order to process Property Tax bills more efficiently. Residents can receive these bills by email as opposed to regular mail. Receiving your bills by email will allow you to easily file these important documents electronically for future reference. Further, you will be able to access these bills wherever you have e-mail access.

You can enroll for this e-billing service by filling out our fillable Email Authorization Form. 

Please submit your form by email to taxes@brockton.ca, fax to 519-881-2991, or in person to:

Municipality of Brockton, 
100 Scott Street, P.O. Box 68
Walkerton, ON N0G 2V0

You can sign up to have pre-authorized payments debited from your bank account for property taxes, monthly or on the bill due date. We also allow for accounts receivable services to be paid using pre-authorized payment plans.

To sign up for this plan please use the following form:

Post-dated cheques can be submitted to the Municipal Office and will be posted for the date of the cheque.

Cheques not honoured by your bank will result in a charge of $45.00 being added to your account. Please ensure that your cheques are signed and filled out completely.

Telephone and online banking payments can be made through most major financial institutions. You can also make in-person bill payments at most bank branches.

This will ensure payments are applied to the correct account, and will assist in avoiding any additional fees due to late payments.
