Never Miss a Due Date – Even if the Mail Does!
Lincoln, ON – (September 26, 2025) – With Canada Post unexpectedly announcing a strike effective September 25, 2025, 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.
To help, we offer several convenient options to help you make payments on time and avoid late payment fees.
September 29th Property Tax and Water/Wastewater Due Date
The following due date of September 29, 2025 remains in effect for:
- September property tax due date
- September water/wastewater bills for Vineland/Jordan water/wastewater billing area
Please note that any payments mailed may be received late by the municipality and subject to penalties and interest. If your payment was recently mailed, please contact finance@lincoln.ca and a staff member will be pleased to assist you.
October Water/Wastewater Bills
Should the Canada Post strike continue, the October water/wastewater bills will not be issued through the mail.

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.
Did You Know?
Last year, Lincoln residents and businesses using e-billing helped save an estimated $11,000 in printing and mailing costs, as well as a few trees (based on a tree producing an estimated 9,000 standard pages). The more people who switch, the more we will all continue to save!
