Go Paperless – Stay Connected – Never Miss a Payment
Canada Post has announced they will begin rotating strikes, allowing mail service to resume, although with delays. However, residents are reminded that failure to receive a tax or utility bill, or mailing a payment during the strike, does not relieve you from payment nor liability of penalty/interest of a late payment.
To avoid any missed bills or late payments, we encourage you to sign up for Paperless Billing & also enroll in Pre-Authorized Payments by visiting our Tax & Utility Bills page on our website. You can also find other methods of payment on our Bills & Payments page as well.
The Ontario government is investing $469,523 to help renew and rehabilitate critical infrastructure in Bayham. The funding will be delivered in 2026 through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF).
“For a smaller municipality like ours, we are very appreciative of the financial assistance of upper levels of government for Bayham capital infrastructure renewal and rehabilitation projects. The OCIF Formula Funding helps supplement the capital tax levy for the municipality”, said Ed Ketchabaw, Mayor of Bayham. “This annual funding has helped the municipality improve its asset management plan funding and lifecycle renewal. Without the annual OCIF Formula Funding, infrastructure projects would fall behind for a rural municipality like Bayham and our infrastructure gap would continue to widen.”
