Repayment Options

Customize which month you want the withdrawals to begin; available starting months are March through June 2021, with all options ending with a final withdrawal date of December 15 2021.  Interest will not be charged on the amount deferred. 

Choose the month that you wish to have the first withdrawal to occur:

The monthly withdrawal amount for your repayment will be calculated once your application is reviewed. The amount will be based on an estimate of the full 2021 tax year levy, plus the balance outstanding from  previous billings, plus any penalty/interest charged (if applicable).  This combined figure is divided by the number of months chosen by the ratepayer,  ending December 15, 2021.

As the 2021 tax levy may be estimated at the time of enrollment, the final monthly withdrawal amount in December will be adjusted to account for either rounding and/or adjustment of the estimate to actual.
