Payment Options
There are many convenient ways for you to pay your property taxes:
You can pay at the cashier counter on the main floor at City Hall. We accept cash, cheque, or interac (debit) payments. We do not accept any credit card payments in person.
Hours of operation
Monday to Friday: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Closed Saturday, Sunday and statutory holidays.
Pre-authorized Monthly Payments (TIPPS)
Our prepayment plan (TIPPS) allows you to pay next year's tax by automatic monthly withdrawals. It runs from July - June (taxes are due June 30th). Current year taxes must be paid in full before the end of June in order to start the prepayment program in July.
How to apply
Complete an application form and send it to us with a void cheque or deposit information from your bank. You can apply throughout the year. Payments are pro-rated based on when you enroll.
Monthly withdrawals
Your monthly withdrawal is on the first working day of each month, beginning in July and ending in June. Payments are pro-rated based on the number of payments received before the due date.
If you would like your monthly withdrawal changed to a different bank account, you need to notify us.

Cancel the program
If you are selling your property, or want to stop having payments withdrawn, you must notify us.
You can choose to pay your property tax by credit card through the City's website.
Please note that this bill payment option is only available online. A convenience fee is charged for the use of this service.
After hours, you can pay by cheque using the drop box located in the main entrance inside the front door of City Hall. The mail slot is accessible during regular hours, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
If you use this option, include your payment stub with your cheque. Make the cheque payable to the City of Yorkton.
Do not put cash payment in the drop box.
Late Payments
Penalties are calculated according to our Penalty Bylaw. If you do not pay your current taxes in full by June 30, we will add 0.75% every month on whatever balance is outstanding.
If your taxes are still unpaid after December 31, your property is in arrears and the penalty increases to 1.25% per month, and we will begin Tax Enforcement proceedings.
The Citizens Guide to Municipal Tax Enforcement outlines the process municipalities must follow to collect property taxes that are in arrears.
To aid in the collection of property taxes, we have adopted a Tax Enforcement Policy to outline the process, along with associated fees.
The applicable fees are applied directly to the tax account.
