Payment Options

You can pay for your taxes and utilities using the following methods:

1 | ONLINE OR MOBILE BANKING

If you own more than one property and/or utility account you will need to add separate bill payees for each account. Please ensure that SEPARATE payments are made to each account number. For example, do not add your taxes and water together and pay them both to the TAXES payee, or vice versa. When searching for Marmora and Lake in your financial institution’s list of bill payees, you may need to try more than one version of the municipality’s name before you will find us. Each bank lists us slightly differently. For example, try “The Municipality of Marmora and Lake,” “Municipality of Marmora,” “Marmora and Lake,” etc. When you get started on the right name, it should auto-fill the rest of the name for you. Then you will need to select between the “utilities” and “taxes” options, as explained below:

• For water and sewer (utilities) payments: The bill payee to add is “UTILITIES.” The account number is the 10-digit customer number showing on your invoice/statement (this includes the 6 zeros).

• For tax payments: The bill payee to add is “TAXES.” The account number is the 19-digit property roll number, located on your tax bill/statement.
  

2 | PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS

Automatic withdrawal from a preferred bank account is available. To set up withdrawals please bring the following documents to the Municipal Office:

• The Utilities pre-authorized payment form or the Taxes pre-authorized payment form

• A void cheque or a pre-authorized debit form from your bank for the account that you want the payments to be withdrawn from
