How the ten-month cycle works
After paying current-year taxes in full, enroll for the next prepayment cycle. Ten equal installments are withdrawn on the first day of each month from August 1 through May 1. Prepayment incentives are credited monthly.
If necessary, a final balancing withdrawal occurs on the last business day of June. Applications are accepted at any time; payment amounts depend on when you join. The City encourages new applicants to apply by the 20th for the next first-of-month withdrawal.

Application and ongoing enrollment
The property owner on title must apply. The online form requires the roll number and access code; call 311 for help. Apply separately for each tax account, including titled condominium parking stalls with separate accounts.
Enrollment continues without annual reapplication until cancelled. Supplementary levies or estimated tax increases can change the installment. Review updated amounts rather than assuming last year’s installment pays the next year fully.

Cancellation, banking changes and sales
Cancel online through MyCity or submit the cancellation form by the 20th of the month before the next withdrawal. For example, an April 20 cancellation stops the May 1 withdrawal. A separate cancellation is needed for every account.
TIPP does not follow the owner to a new home. Cancel the sold property and apply again for the new property. Tax credits stay with the property and should appear in the lawyer’s adjustment statement. Use the City change-banking form when updating payment details.
