Tax Certificates

Tax certificates provide information regarding yearly tax amounts levied, tax payment information and penalties accrued (if applicable).  They also confirm any outstanding balances.

Important information

  • Tax Certificates are used primarily during the sale/purchase of a property or refinancing.

  • Tax Certificates are issued upon requests for tax information made by solicitors, owners, financial institutions or mortgage holders.

  • A Tax Certificate request letter is required together with the applicable fee.  A cheque for the applied fee must be made payable to the "Township of The Archipelago".

  • The tax certificate request letter must include the name of the current property owner(s); name, address, telephone and fax number of the law firm or financial institution; property address, legal description, lot size and roll number; closing date.

  • All requests will be processed upon payment. 

  • Verbal tax updates of all certificates are provided for a period of three months from the date of issue.  Information after that time frame will only be available if another certificate is requested.  Tax updates will only be provided to the law firm, institution or person who originally purchased the Certificate.

       Cost for a Tax Certificate is $25.00 for each roll number requested.
