Township Services

While many of the Township services are free of charge, there are certain fees associated with some Township services.

By-law 2023-109 - Consolidated Fees and Charges By-law

Credit Card Payments

As of October 6, 2022 we are allowed to pass through a small surcharge on your purchase if you choose to pay with Visa or Mastercard credit cards.

To offset credit card acceptance costs, we apply a surcharge fee on all credit card transactions. This fee is no greater than the fee we pay to Visa and Mastercard and ensures that credit card acceptance costs are allocated only to those customers who elect to pay with these credit cards.

Fee: 1.75% per transaction

We believe in presenting these fees transparently, allowing you to make an informed decision when you choose your form of payment.
