2024 Residential and Farm tax bills have now been mailed
2024 Final Tax Bills for all residential, farm and/or managed forest properties were mailed June 6. The first payment due date for these is Friday June 28. If you do not receive your tax billing in the coming week, please contact the Township tax office.
If your mortgage company is shown on your tax bill, your mortgage company will be notified directly by the Township, so this tax bill is for your records and files only and you need not pay this billing as your mortgage company will do so. If the name of the mortgage company shown on your bill is incorrect, contact the Township tax office.
Those registered for our monthly preauthorized payment plan will be notified shortly of your revised monthly payment amount.
Tax bills for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-residential buildings will be prepared and mailed before the end of June, with their first installment due Friday July 26.

Allocation of your tax dollars
The Township of Wilmot bills and collects taxes for ourselves, but also for the Region of Waterloo, and the provincial education property tax. The Township Council is only responsible for setting the tax rate for the Township portion of your bill. The Council of the Region of Waterloo, and the Province set the tax rates for their respective portions. Out of every residential tax dollar collected by the Township $0.29 is retained while $0.57 goes to the Region of Waterloo while the remaining $0.14 goes towards the School Boards.
