The Municipality of the District of Shelburne sends property tax bills to all property owners twice each year. Bills are sent out in March and September. The March “interim bill” will reflect 60% of the previous years total tax. The September “final bill” will make up the balance of the current years taxes based on the current assessment and tax rate.

The tax calculation is based on the assessed value of the property divided by 100 multiplied by the applicable tax rate.

Residential - $1.30/100 of assessment
Commercial - $1.82/100 of assessment

Other Rates:

Tax Certificate - $40.00
Deed Transfer Tax - 1.5% of purchase price
Sewer Service - $260.00/year

Payments may be made by cash, debit, cheque, money order (payable to the Municipality of the District of Shelburne) or by Electronic Bill Payment Service (Online Banking) at the Municipal Administration Building, Finance Department, located at 136 Hammond Street, Shelburne.
