PLEASE NOTE: If you are on our PAP program you will still receive a Tax Notice around the end of May/beginning of June (we mail it out May 15^th each year). You DO NOT have to pay this invoice as you are paying it monthly. The tax notice will display the recalculated monthly payment amount near the top of the invoice.

Joining Mid-Year?

You’ll need to make a catch-up payment for missed months.

Example:

• Monthly payment: $379.37

• Joining in May? Catch-up = $379.37 x 4 months = $2,276.20

Required to Enroll:

• Completed PAP application form

• A void cheque or direct withdrawal form

Note:
From January to May, payments are based on estimates. After mill rates are approved in May, payments are recalculated. You’ll receive a notice in December each year with your updated estimate for the upcoming year.

To calculate your catch-up payment, please email taxes@edson.caand include your property address or tax roll number.
