Payments will be accepted at the office during regular office hours or they can be left in the mail slot to the left of the office door to be processed the next business day. Taxes are also payable (by the due date) at the Bank of Montreal in Athens. Taxes can be paid through your financial institution by internet and phone.(Athens Township Taxes). Please ensure that you allow at least 5 business days when paying taxes online to ensure payment reaches the office before the due date. Post-dated cheques are accepted.
As well, we have a debit/credit transaction machine in office for payments with debit cards and credit cards (3% additional fee applies to credit card transactions only). Effective January 1, 2025 we will no longer accept payments over the phone. E-transfers are not accepted for tax payments.
The Township is not responsible for non-delivery or late delivery by mail, it is the owner’s responsibilty to ensure tax payments are received in office on or before the due date to avoid penalty.
