Payments

The Municipality of Brockton offers e-billing services in order to process Property Tax, Utility and Accounts Receivable bills more efficiently. Residents can 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:
