Residents in every Municipality are required to pay municipal property taxes. Property taxes collected in the Town of Cobourg provide for your local services such as local road repair, snow clearing, fire services and much more.
The Town of Cobourg strives to maintain existing services, programs and infrastructure while providing new services, and minimizing tax increases. In a climate of increasing costs, this can be a challenge.
Property taxes are the largest source of Municipal revenue. For a concise breakdown of the services you receive for your tax dollars, please review the 2021 Tax Information Brochure.

Have you received your tax bill?
Please note that failure to receive a tax bill does not eliminate the responsibility for the payment of the taxes and penalty. If you are responsible for paying your taxes directly and have not received a tax bill, please contact the Tax Department at 905-372-8944.
Supplementary tax bills, which represent additional assessment on your property determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), are sent out three times per year. The Assessment Act gives MPAC authority to correct any missed assessment for the current year plus up to two years prior. Homeowners will receive notification directly from MPAC prior to receiving tax information from the Municipality.
