Cash, Cheques & Debit

Payments can be made in person at the Municipal Office at 89 Limerick Lake Road. We accept cash, cheque, Debit, Visa and Mastercard.

There is an after hours drop box located on the front door of the Municipal Office. (Please leave cheques only).

We do accept US cheques however as the exchange rate changes daily, please pay the “balance due” on your tax notice. Once we deposit your cheque and the exchange rate is determined at that time, the payment is applied to your tax account, and you will have a credit balance. Many times, if a US taxpayer is attempting to “guess” at the exchange rate and makes the cheque for a lesser amount there can sometimes be a balance owing and subsequently interest likely will be added as the full payment wasn’t made.

Online Banking

Property tax payments can also be made through personal online banking. The roll number is the “Account Number” that you would set up. It is the number that starts with 1251. Search for Limerick Township or Township of Limerick or Limerick Twp (taxes) as the “Payee”.
