Public Service Announcement: Never Miss a Bill or Due Date

Lincoln, ON – (May 12, 2025) – With the possibility of a Canada Post strike later this month, the Town of Lincoln reminds residents and property owners that all due dates for Town bills remain in effect throughout the year, regardless of mail delivery issues, adverse weather, or unanticipated events. To help, we offer several convenient options to help you make payments on time and avoid late payment fees.

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have until May 22, 2025 to reach an agreement. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, it is possible that there could be further disruptions in postal services.

 

Go Green and Go Easy – Switch to E-billing and Pre-Authorized Payments Today.

As part of our commitment to making life easier and simpler for residents, the Town of Lincoln is encouraging residents and businesses to sign up for e-billing, on-line account access and Pre-Authorized Payments (PAP) for their property tax and Town utility bills.

 

Why make the switch?

  • Convenience – Set it and forget it! Pre-Authorized Payments take the stress out of remembering tax or utility bill due dates and payment details.
  • Reliability – Postal service disruptions will no longer impact you. With e-billing, you won’t need to wait for your bill(s) in the mail. With PAP, your payments will always be made on time, giving you peace of mind.
  • Efficiency – E-billing helps the Town reduce the need for traditional mailouts, saving taxpayer dollars on printing and postage. PAP is automatic and saves you time and money too.
  • Sustainability – Go paperless and help us go green! Every switch to digital saves paper, reduces waste, and supports our environmental goals.

 

Did you know?

Last year, Lincoln residents and businesses using PAP and e-billing helped save an estimated $11,000 in printing and mailing costs, as well as a few trees (based on a tree producing an estimated 9,000 standard pages). The more people who switch, the more we will all continue to save!

 

Due Dates

Payment due dates don’t change – but your payment method can. Signing up for Pre-Authorized Payments ensures your payments are made on time, every time.

  • Property tax instalments: due dates are the last business day of February, April, July and September.
  • Utility bills: issued quarterly, and due dates depend on your billing address.
