Requesting a tax certificate 

A tax certificate can be ordered by submitting your request in writing along with a cheque for $95. Please note: The City of Vaughan currently cannot accept credit cards for payment.  If you are dropping off your certificate request to our Payment office, you may pay by cheque or debit. For written requests sent by mail, payment is accepted by cheque only. Requests and applicable cheques can be put in the drop-off boxes located at each entrance of City Hall. 

Please ensure to identify the property by including the property location and/or address, legal description, and assessment roll number as applicable. If this information is not available, it may be obtained from either the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), by phone at 1-866-296-MPAC (6722) or from the City of Vaughan by calling 905-832-2281. 

Incomplete requests may be returned for further information. 

For mailed or dropped-off requests, tax certificates will be mailed to the return address as provided with the request.
