Never Miss a Due Date – Even if the Mail Does! 

Lincoln, ON – (October 6, 2025) – with the continuation of the Canada Post strike, the Town of Lincoln reminds residents and property owners that all due dates for Town bills remain in effect throughout the year, regardless of mail delivery issues, adverse weather, or unanticipated events.

October Water/Wastewater Bills

Should the Canada Post strike continue, the October water/wastewater bills will not be issued through the mail. If you are in the Beamsville South of King St/Campden water/wastewater billing area, your bill will be ready beginning Thursday, October 9, and we offer several convenient options:

  • Your bill may be picked up in person at Town Hall with valid identification. 
  • You may email or call for your amount owing.  Please have your previous bill handy to verify your identity.
  • Now is the perfect time to switch to e-billing and Pre-Authorized Payments for your property tax and utility bills. Register at lincoln.ca/onlineaccounts.
  • Register with WaterSmart at lincolnon.watersmart.com to access consumption data and receive electronic copies of your utility bills.

Go Green and Go Easy – Switch to E-billing and Pre-Authorized Payments Today.

As part of our commitment to making life easier and simpler for residents, the Town of Lincoln is encouraging residents and businesses to sign up for e-billing, on-line account access and Pre-Authorized Payments (PAP) for their property tax and Town utility bills.

Why make the switch?

  • Convenience – Set it and forget it! Pre-Authorized Payments take the stress out of remembering tax or utility bill due dates and payment details.
  • Reliability – Postal service disruptions will no longer impact you. With e-billing, you won’t need to wait for your bill(s) in the mail. With PAP, your payments will always be made on time, giving you peace of mind.
  • Efficiency – E-billing helps the Town reduce the need for traditional mailouts, saving taxpayer dollars on printing and postage. PAP is automatic and saves you time and money too.
  • Sustainability – Go paperless and help us go green! Every switch to digital saves paper, reduces waste, and supports our environmental goals.

Due Dates 

Payment due dates don’t change – but your payment method can.  Signing up for Pre-Authorized Payments ensures your payments are made on time, every time.

  • Property tax instalments: due dates are the last business day of February, April, July and September. 
  • Utility bills: issued quarterly, and due dates depend on your billing address.

Due dates can also be found on our website:
