Paying Your Property Taxes

Property Tax Billing 

The City of Orillia issues two property tax bills a year; the Interim tax bill in January and Final tax bill in June. Each bill has two payment installment due dates.

Interim Tax Bill

The Interim tax bill is mailed in January and is based on approximately 50% of the previous years taxes.

• Installment Due Dates: March 15th and May 15th

Final Tax Bill

The Final tax bill is mailed in June and is calculated by using the assessment provided by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) multiplied by the municipal Property Tax Rates, less the Interim tax bill amount.​

• Installment Due Dates: August 15th and October 15th
