Tax bills are issued to all property owners in Lambton Shores. These bills fund services provided by Lambton Shores, the County of Lambton and the Boards of Education.
Payment options
There are a number of ways to pay your property taxes.
Property tax due dates
Lambton Shores issues property tax bills twice a year, with two installments on each bill.
We mail the interim tax bill in February and the installment amounts are based on 50% of the previous years' taxes. The installment due dates are:
- Last business day in February
- Last business day in May
We mail the final tax bill in August with the following installment due dates:
- Last business day in August
- Last business day in November
Penalty and interest charges
Penalty and interest charges of 1.25% will be added to installments not paid by the due date. Interest charges are applied on the first day of each month until the balance is paid. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt the taxpayer from late payment charges.
Tax certificates
Tax certificates are issued upon request in writing to anyone requiring certified information on the status of a property tax account. The cost is $50 per certificate and cheques can be made payable to the Municipality of Lambton Shores. If you email or fax in your request please include a copy of the cheque.
