GENERAL INFORMATION - TAX BILLINGS
Most property owners will receive two municipal tax bills from the City of Kingston each year.
- The interim tax bill, representing 50% of the previous year's tax bill, is payable on the last business day in February.
- The final tax bill is the balance of the year's taxes and is payable on the last business day in June.
In addition, properties assessed for new construction or property improvements may receive another tax bill for the current year and up to two prior years. These tax bills, referred to as "Supplementary" or "Omitted" tax bills, are issued later in the year and are payable in one instalment.
