Water and Property Tax Billing Payments:
Property tax bills are mailed in April (due in June) and August (due in October).
Water bills are invoiced quarterly in January, April, July and October. Please ensure you have supplied the Municipality of Pictou County with your correct mailing address, including your PO Box # (if you have one), to prevent delayed payments and notices.
You can pay your property tax or water bills online through your bank by following these instructions:
To begin, you must have a separate payee for each: taxes and water.

Avoid Interest Charges!
Even if you pay today, the Municipality may not receive your payment today. The transfer will typically take place within three to six days. However, you may encounter additional delays. Please contact the third-party service provider for more information. The Municipality may charge you penalties or interest or both if your payment is late.
You are responsible for making sure the Municipality receives your payment by the payment due date. If you are using a third-party service provider, you must clearly understand the terms and conditions of the services you are using.
