Enhanced health and safety precautions will remain in place at City Hall, including floor markings to support physical distancing requirements, and signage to help with traffic flow and maximum occupancy. Residents are required to sanitize their hands, wear face coverings and practice physical distancing while inside the building. Visitors will also be asked screening questions and to provide information for contact tracing purposes.
In order to minimize line-ups, residents are encouraged to continue to use online options or the drop box outside City hall when possible.
Through the passing of Bill 195, the Province of Ontario has lifted the COVID-19-related State of Emergency effective July 24. This means that the interest-free grace period for both the February and June 2020 tax installments, as well as all water bills issued after Feb. 28, will end on Oct. 31. On Nov. 1, any remaining 2020 balance will be subject to late payment penalty charges.
Account holders who are able to make payments toward their account are encouraged to do so in order to assist in reducing the outstanding balance. In the event that you are realizing financial hardship due to COVID-19 please email propertytaxes@cityofnorthbay.ca or call 705-474-0400 ext. 2127 to discuss your payment arrangements.
