   ON THE COVER
   Beach days at the Morrisburg and Iroquois beaches are a staple
   of summer recreation programming in the Municipality of South
   Dundas. One of the most popular activities is the tug-o-war,
   as seen on the front cover with South Dundas Recreation Staff
   Members cheering participants on. Programming for Beach Days is
   provided in partnership with the Early ON Child and Family Centre.

Taxes

             The Municipal issued an interim tax bill is due March 31, 2020. The interim bill issued
             is 50 per cent of the final tax bill from the previous year. The final tax bill issued
             in June is to be paid in two installments. The first installment is due June 30, 2020
             and the second installment is due September 30, 2020. Reminders for outstanding
             charges are mailed in April, July and October; with a final year-end reminder mailed
             for charges that are still outstanding as of December 31.

             Payments options include pre-authorized payments, cash, cheque and debit which
             can be paid at the Municipal office during regular business hours or cheques and
             post-dated cheques can be mailed to The Municipality of South Dundas
             34 Ottawa Street, P.O. Box 740, Morrisburg ON K0C 1X0.

             Payments must be received by the Municipality on or before the due date. Payments
             received after the due date are subject to penalty or interest.

 Tax Arrears
 Changes to the Municipal Act permits the Municipality to prepare and register a tax arrears
 certificate against a property after two years of outstanding taxes. Commencing in 2020, the
 Municipality will begin registering properties with two years of property tax arrears. Any ratepayer
 with two years of property taxes owing are encouraged to contact the Municipality.

 FAQ with your Tax and Utility Coordinator
 Q. How do I get a property tax print out for my income taxes?
 A. The best way to ensure you’re ready for income tax season is to keep a copy of your June tax
    bill from the previous year. If you have lost or misplaced the bill, copies can be printed by the
    Municipality. A $10 fee may be applicable. In some cases, proof of property tax payments can
    be printed from your My Tax Account.

 Q. Why is there interest being charged on my account?
 A. Interest charges mean there is a payment outstanding on your account. Be sure when paying
    the June and September installments to double-check the amounts. June’s installment will
    include a cent figure, while September’s will not. 1.25 percent penalty or interest is added to
    outstanding taxes on the first day of each month until paid.

 Q. I’m having my home assessed. How can I see the property assessments of similar homes to mine?
 A. The My Tax Account portal offers a property tax look-up without having to log in to an account.
    Navigate to Online Services in the top right-hand corner of the page and click the Property Taxes
    link. Search by Jur Number, Property ID, Address or Postal Code and see tax information and
    assessments from the last three years. This does not include any personal or payment information.

In 2019, Ontario amended Ontario’s Building Code (O. Reg 332/12) in order to make
Ontario’s Code more like national codes. The changes were based on proposals from
2016 and 2017.

On January 1, 2020, most of these amendments came into effect. These include:
 • fire safety measures that include fire prevention and early detection and warning
   systems
 • structural sufficiency of buildings to withstand external forces and improve
   resilience
 • water conservation improvements to plumbing fixtures
 • public health and safety requirements
 • accessibility requirements for barrier-free access

What does this mean?
Contractors, designers and do-it-yourselfers are encouraged to familiarize
themselves with potential changes to projects commencing in 2020. Up-to-date
information on permit application forms and requirements can be found at
