When paying using online or electronic methods, please take note of the number of days your financial institution indicates it will take to transfer the funds. The City must receive the funds by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 30^th.

Tax Installment Plan (T.I.P.):

Property owners who prefer to not make the tax payment all at once can enroll in the City’s Tax Installment Plan (T.I.P.). Payments are debited from your bank account on the 15th of each month. Payments are calculated by dividing your most recent annual tax levy into 12 installment payments.

The deadline to apply is June 15^th, 2022. If you apply to begin the program later than January, you will be required to make an initial payment for the year-to-date missed payments in that calendar year.

Enrollment is available online through the onlineservices.brandon.ca/updateinfo.aspx.

In Person or Mail:

Property owners can attend Brandon City Hall (410 – 9^th Street) in person to make their property tax payment. If you are mailing your property tax payment, please allow sufficient business days to meet the June 30^th deadline.

Penalties on unpaid 2022 taxes will accrue at a rate of 1.25% per month, beginning July 1^st, 2022.
