for Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Residential Realty Classes
Financial Implications: Adoption of the recommendations and passing the By-law
will allow staff of the Corporate Services Department to bill the Final 2011 levy for all
properties except for the industrial, commercial and multi-residential tax classes.
Passing of the by-law will assist the City of Pickering to meet its financial obligations
and reduce any borrowing costs.
Sustainability Implications: Passing the attached By-law will allow the City to
obtain the funds required to maintain its financial sustainability objectives.
Background: The 2011 final tax billing process will consist of two separate
components: -
1. Residential and residential related (farm, managed forest), properties; and,
2. Commercial, industrial and multi-residential realty classes.
Later this year, a report will be presented to Council asking for Council's approval to bill
the non-residential tax classes. The non-residential tax classes are subject to tax
capping and Pickering's staff in conjunction with the other lower tier municipal tax staff
and the Region's finance staff will be working on the tax capping calculations during the
next few months.
City's Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase
The 2011 budgetary increase of 2.99% was adopted by Council through Corporate
Services Report CST 14-11. That report approves a budgetary tax levy of $45,399,720
and includes assessment growth of $525,130. For taxation billing purposes, the
assessment growth is added to the budgetary levy to arrive at the total property tax levy
of $45,924,850.
Tax Due Date Instalments
Recommendation 3 provides for the due dates for the payment of residential taxes
being June 29, 2011 and September 29, 2011. The table below lists the tax instalment
due dates for the last three years.

Communication Strategy
In addition to mailing the tax bills, the City will advertise the tax installment due dates on
the City's webpage and in the Pickering News Advertiser prior to each tax due date.
Pre-Authorized Payment Plans (PAP)
The City offers two Pre-Authorized Payment Plans (PAP): monthly and installment
based. The monthly plan consists of eleven payments starting on January 1St of each
month. The monthly plan has approximately 7,100 participants resulting in a monthly
cash flow of approximately $3.5 million. The installment based (introduced last year)
has 150 participants and is based on debiting the property tax payer's bank account on
the due date. Taxation staff advertise these two plans on the City's website and in the
property tax brochures that are mailed with the tax bills.
Other
Recommendations 2 and 3 provide for the levying of all tax rates on all classes of
property except for the non-residential properties where the tax rates and the property
taxes will be billed at a later date because the claw back percentages have not yet been
determined. Staff have received advice that the "claw back" percentages should be
included in the billing By-law. Therefore, staff will bring a separate report to Council
regarding the non-residential billing for Council's June meeting. Staff's preliminary
estimate for the final non-residential due date is October 14, 2011.
Changes to the Billing Schedule
Recommendation 6 and 7, will allow the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer some
latitude, limited by Provincial legislation, in effecting whatever may be necessary in
order to ensure that the taxes are billed properly and in a timely fashion. It was always
staff's understanding that Recommendation 6 would be used to change the due dates
by a.few days in order to meet Provincial legislation requirements. (Section 343,
subsection one of the Municipal Act states the property owner must have at least
twenty-one days to pay their taxes.) A report would be prepared to Council if there was
a substantial delay in the billing of the final taxes.
