Your account number with the Township is your roll number. 
Your roll number can be found at the top of your tax bill and it starts with 15-06.  Depending on the financial institution you may or may not need to include the dashes or the last four zeros of your roll number.

Please Note:
If you have multiple properties, a separate payment is required for each roll number. 

Also, please allow 2 to 3 business days for the payment to process before the tax due date to avoid interest and penalties.

Residents can sign up to have their property taxes taken out of their bank account on a monthly basis or by installment on the due date.

• Monthly payments are taken out on the 15th of each month.
• Installment payments are taken out on the 16th of the month that the installment is due (i.e. February's installment comes out on February 16th). 

To sign up for either of these options, please fill out the preauthorized payment enrollment form and submit it with a void cheque. 

These documents can be submitted:

• online, using the online preauthorized payment enrollment form, 
• PDF version of the preauthorized payment enrollment form scanned and emailed
• PDF version printed and filled in with void cheque submitted to the Township office in person,
• PDF version printed and filled in, with a void cheque mailed to the Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan,
  P.O. Box 70, 20 Third Street, Keene, ON K0L 2G0

Any returned payments are subject to an administration fee of $25.00. 

If two payments are returned within a 12 month period, your preauthorized payment plan will be cancelled and any taxes owing will become subject to penalty and interest.

You must notify the Township at least 15 days before the next scheduled payment if there are any changes to your banking information or if you would like to cancel your preauthorized payments.

If you sell your property, do not forget to tell us so we can cancel your preauthorized payment.
