Payment Options

You can pay using online or telephone banking or by taking your bill to your bank branch to have the teller process the payment.

To pay online, you will need to:

• Log in to your online banking.
• Add "Bluewater Municipality Taxes" as a payee. (Tip: Search payee listings for Bluewater)
• Enter the roll number from your tax bill (15 digits, no decimals or spaces). If you have multiple bills each roll number must be set up separately and a payment must me made to each separate tax roll number.
• Make your payment at least three days before the due date to avoid late payment fees.
• If you move make sure you delete the roll number and add your new roll number if you have moved within Bluewater. Your roll number does not move with you.

Your tax account can be set up to have the amount owing deducted from your bank account on the due dates in February, May, September and November. 

We also have a budget plan that will divide your tax payments over 10 months and automatically pull each month. No payments are withdrawn in January or December. 

See our Pre-Authorized Payment plan page for more information and instructions on how to enroll.
