Other methods of payment are e-transfer, online/telephone banking, mail in a cheque, by your financial institution, or by credit card on our website. Please note there is a 3% third party service charge that will apply for credit card payments. For more information on payment options and set up, contact Reception at 519 291 2950 ext. 2086.
Online & Financial Institution Payment Reminder
When making payments online, or at a financial institution, please allow time for the payment to be received by North Perth. This may take several days. If North Perth has not received payment by the due date, penalty charges will be applied.
Pre-Authorized Payments For your convenience, we offer pre-authorized payment plans for both property taxes and water/sewer bills. To sign up for this feature, please complete the pre-authorized debit agreement that is available on our website. A void cheque or an electronic funds transfer form from your financial institution must be included with the form. Please make sure you notify us if selling your property and need to be removed from the plan. Sign up today for this free service to ensure your payments are always paid on time! We offer two types of pre-authorized payment plans for property taxes: 1) Equal monthly payments based on annual taxes. Payments will automatically be withdrawn from your bank account on the 15th of the month or the next business day on the installment due dates in March, June, September, and November. 2) Installment payments on installment due dates. The installment will automatically be withdrawn from your bank account on the 3rd Wednesday of March, June, September, and November.

Water/Sewer: Select North Perth Water-Sewer as the payee and enter your customer number/account number on your bill excluding the first zero. For example, if your customer number on your bill is 0123456789, then your account number is 123456789.
