Property Taxes

Property taxes provide the main source of revenue to deliver important municipal, county and school services to the community. View our Tax Collection policy for more information about how tax rates are set.

You will receive two tax bills each year. The interim tax bill in January is 50% of your previous year's property taxes. The final tax bill will be issued in July after  the current year's budget for the Town of Shelburne has been approved. The final tax bill will show the breakdown of property taxes distributed to education, the County and the Town of Shelburne. 

Billing Schedule

General Information

If you have not received your tax bill contact us by email or call 519-925-2600 x 253. Property owners are responsible for paying their property taxes even if the bill doesn't arrive by mail. Not receiving the bill does not excuse the owner from penalty or interest charges.

You will be charged a $10.00 fee for a reprint of your tax bill.

You need to notify the Town if you change your mailing address. Complete our address change form to update your information with the Town of Shelburne.

What you need to know:

  • The existing Property tax account number (roll number) stays with the property
  • A property tax certificate is a document that is produced, which indicates the amount of taxes owing. It is recommended that your lawyer order a tax certificate to accurately adjust property taxes. 
  • We need written authorization from a lawyer to update ownership of a property.

Once the closing has occurred, lawyers will send confirmation providing updated ownership of the property. Taxes, water and sewer accounts will be updated with new ownership details.
