Failure to receive a tax bill does not eliminate the responsibility for payment of taxes or the penalty charges for late payment. TAX PAYMENTS may be made at most Financial Institutions through tellers, banking machines, telephone and Internet banking, by mail or in person at the Municipal Offices, 111 Sandiford Drive. An afterhours drop box is available at the Main Entrance doors. SUPPLEMENTARY TAXES ON NEWLY-CONSTRUCTED HOMES Owners have been or will be receiving tax bills for the value of the "land" only excluding building, until the house is assessed by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Once assessed, supplementary tax bills will be issued for the house, retroactive to the date of possession. To estimate the annual taxes, simply multiply the purchase price of the home x 1%. This process can take 2 to 3 years and the tax bills will be due within a short time period. Pre-payments on account or through a pre-authorized payment plan can be made to assist homeowners in planning for these future supplementary tax bills.
