The Canada Post strike action could impact the delivery of City paper billing, invoices and other notifications – including water utility bills, property tax bills, invoices and traffic-related infractions. Contingency options are available for residents and businesses.

Property Tax and Water Utility Bills

In the event of a postal service disruption, water utility bills and property tax bills will continue to be issued and the payment due date will remain unchanged. For those who receive their bills by mail, it is recommended to sign up for paperless billing.

The convenience of paperless billing extends beyond any postal disruption. The benefits include:

  • Instant access: receive notifications as soon as bills are issued, directly in your inbox.
  • Convenience: easily manage and track your billing history online.
  • Environmentally friendly: help reduce paper waste and support a more sustainable future.

To enroll in paperless billing, create or log in to your My ServiceOttawa account, navigate to view your Water Utility Bill or Property Tax account and select paperless as your preferred billing method. If this is your first time using this service, you will need a copy of your last bill to complete the registration process. Once registered, you will get an email notification whena bill is ready for viewing, along with the amount, due date and a link to My ServiceOttawa.

Alternatively, contact Revenue Services and one of our agents will be happy to assist with this process:

  • Call 613-580-2444 (TTY: 613-580-2401) and select option 1
  • Business hours: Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm

Other bill payment options include:


General Accounts Receivable Invoices

Accounts receivable invoices will be emailed where possible.. If you are expecting an invoice for City services, please contact Accounts Receivable.

Social Assistance Overpayments

Social Assistance Overpayments can be paid online, through your financial institution, by visiting a Canada Post location, or at 100 Constellation Drive.

Parking tickets and provincial offence fines

For speeding tickets, by-law infractions or other offences, these can be paid online or in person or by drop box at a Provincial Offences Court office.

Parking tickets, along with by-law and traffic-camera infractions, can also be paid in-person at any Client Service Centre and drop boxes, by phone at 613-738-7719, or online through Ottawa.ca/poa.  

Collections

Defaulted Provincial Offences Collection Notices will be emailed where possible.

All newly defaulted fines will receive a phone call where possible and regular collection activities will continue.
