The infrastructure portion is dedicated specifically to the upkeep and renewal of the Town’s physical assets. This includes roads and bridges, sidewalks, stormwater systems, streetlights, Town facilities (such as arenas and community centers), as well as the equipment and vehicles needed to maintain these assets. By allocating funds directly to infrastructure, the Town ensures that these essential services and assets remain safe, reliable, and sustainable for the community.
Arrears/penalties: If taxes are not paid on the due date(s), a penalty of 1.25% will be charged to the account after the payment is due and again on the first day of each month until paid. Interest of 1.25% per month or 15% per annum is charged on all arrears of taxes as of January 1. Neither the Treasurer nor the Tax Department staff have the authority to waive the penalty charges. Tax payments are applied to the penalty/interest charges owing and then to the taxes starting with the oldest year. If a property goes 3 years without property taxes being paid, the property is subject to tax sale proceedings.
Supplemental Tax Bills
A Supplementary Tax Bill is issued by the Town of Erin, to adjust the tax roll to record a change in the assessment. For example, you may receive a Supplementary Tax Bill if you have a newly constructed home; you have renovated or built an addition to your property; or the tax classification of your property has changed. In the case of a new house, it is often assessed effective from the occupancy/closing date. Other scenarios are possible based on the property's assessed value or classification changes as determined by MPAC.
The Supplementary Tax Bill covers the period outlined in the Property Assessment Change Notice (PACN) sent to you by MPAC in the months preceding the issuance of a Supplementary Tax Bill.
If you have recently bought a new home or made any additions or improvements to your property, remember to make allowance for a Supplementary Tax Bill in your budget plans. Residents are strongly encouraged to budget for this billing.
* NOTE: Supplementary bills can be sent out at any time and are not included in the Pre-Authorized Payment Program or sent to mortgage companies for payment, payments have to be made separately.
