Payments

Beginning in 2019 the Municipality of Brockton will be offering an e-billing service. We will no longer be offering e-post as a delivery option.

In an effort to be more efficient and effective in the procession of Property Tax, Utility and Accounts Receivable bills, the Municipality of Brockton is offering residents the opportunity to receive these bills by email as opposed to regular mail.

Receiving your bills by email will allow you to easily file these important documents electronically for future reference. Further, you will be able to access these bills wherever you have e-mail access.

You can enroll for this e-billing service by filling out our fillable Email Authorization Form. 

Please submit your form by email to AR@brockton.ca, fax to 519-881-2991, or in person to:

Municipality of Brockton,
100 Scott Street,
Walkerton, ON N0G 2V0.

You can sign up to have pre-authorized payments debited from your bank account for property taxes, or water and sewer utilities monthly or on the bill due date. We also allow for accounts receivable services to be paid using pre-authorized payment plans.

To sign up for this plan please use one of the following forms:

• Accounts Receivable Pre-Authorized Payment Plan Form
• Tax Pre-Authorized Payment Plan Form
• Water and Sewer Pre-Authorized Payment Plan Form

Cheques

Returned Cheques

Cheques not honoured by your bank will result in a charge of $45.00 being added to your account. Please ensure that your cheques are signed and filled out completely.

Telephone and online banking payments can be made through most major financial institutions. You can also make in-person bill payments at most bank branches.

• Property Taxes

  • Use the 19 digit roll number for your account number 
  • Your tax roll number appears on your tax bill and looks like this: 4104-010-002-01890-0000

• Water and Sewer Utilities

  • Use your 14 digit account number when setting up your water utility payment

Please ensure your account number for online payments is correct! Remember to check your account numbers for all online payment submissions! Tax accounts are 19 digits long and begin with 41-04. Utility account numbers are 14 digits and begin with 3.

This will ensure payments are applied to the correct account, and will assist in avoiding any additional fees due to late payments.

We are now accepting online banking payments for Child Care Services provided through the Brockton Child Care Centre. Account numbers are 14 digits and begin with 0.

The Municipality has recently launched an online banking option for residents and businesses to pay General Invoices (such as dog tags) through their online banking. Add Brockton – General as a payee, account numbers consist of 14 numerical digits in the format of 00000000000000.
