Property Taxes are the main source of revenue that enables the Township of Madoc to provide services and resources to the community. In addition to collecting taxes for the Township’s own purposes, the municipality is also responsible for collecting on behalf of the Province of Ontario and the County of Hastings.
Property Tax E-Notices will be available starting in June of 2025. Please, see the online form below to register yourself for E-Notices.
Please Note: Once you have subscribed to e-notices, you will no longer receive a physical paper copy of your Property Tax Bills in the mail. If you choose to register, it is your responsibility to notify the Municipal Office should there be any future changes to any contact information, including e-mail addresses.
Property taxes are determined by multiple factors. The province decides how much must be raised to pay for services provided by the County; and Madoc Township determines how much must be raised to pay for local municipal services.
The Township of Madoc’s Property Tax Billing Installments are completed as follows:
INTERIM: Due at the end of March (35% of previous years’ taxes billed)
FINAL: The FINAL notice for Residential, Farm and Managed Forest properties will be mailed in June with two installments due at the end of June and September. The FINAL notice for Commercial and Industrial properties will be mailed in September due at the end of September.
Payment must be received by the Township of Madoc either on or prior to the due date(s) to avoid any penalty/interest. A payment is not considered paid until the funds have been received or receipted by the municipality.
Penalty/interest is applicable on the first day of each month on any outstanding tax amount, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, in which default continues as set out in the Municipal Act, 2001.
PAYMENT METHODS

Property taxes are determined by multiplying a property’s assessed value by the current year tax rate. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for determining your property’s assessed value and the Municipal Council approves the tax rate.
You can learn more about the assessment value of your property by visiting the MPAC property portal and registering for an account. About My Property is a free online tool that allows property owners to review information MPAC has on file for their property. The portal can be used to compare properties similar to yours and help you better understand how MPAC assigns property values.
