The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law 2025-063
Being a By-law to authorize an Interim Tax levy for 2026.
Whereas the Council for the Municipality of Clarington deems it necessary to pass a by-
law to levy an Interim Rate for 2026 on the whole of the assessment for each property
class in the local municipality as provided for in Section 317 of the Municipal Act, 2001
as amended;
And whereas Section 317 (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 as amended, allows a by-law
to levy interim taxes to be passed in November or December of the previous year if it
provides that it does not come into force until a specified day in the following year.
Now therefore the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington enacts as follows:
1. That the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington is hereby
authorized to levy in 2026 on the whole of all taxable assessment on the property
according to the last revised assessment roll, a sum not to exceed that which
would be produced by applying the prescribed percentage (or 50 per cent if no
percentage is otherwise prescribed) of the total amounts billed to each property
for all purposes in the previous year on the properties that, in the current year, are
in the property class as provided for in Section 317 of the Municipal Act, 2001 as
amended;
2. That for the purposes of calculating the total taxes for the previous year under
paragraph 1, if any taxes were levied for only part of the previous year because
assessment was added to the roll during the year, an amount shall be added
equal to the additional taxes that would have been levied if the taxes had been
levied for the entire year;
3. That the interim tax levy rates shall also apply to any property added to the
assessment roll after this by-law is enacted;
4. That all taxes levied under the authority of this By-law shall be payable in
Canadian funds and shall be divided into two equal instalments, the first of said
instalments to become due and payable on or before the 19th day of February
2026 and the second of said instalments to become due and payable on or before
the 23rd day of April 2026 and shall be paid to the Treasurer of the Corporation of
the Municipality of Clarington. Upon payment of any applicable fee, and if paid on
or before the due date imprinted on the bill, taxes may also be paid at most
chartered banks in the Province of Ontario;
