Effective today (Friday, November 15, 2024), Canada Post operations have shut down and mail service has stopped, after Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post failed to reach a negotiated settlement. Residents are reminded that they are still obligated to pay tax and water/wastewater bills as well as any fines/infractions by the due date.

To avoid late fees, interruptions, or delays, residents are encouraged to use alternate payment or delivery methods. Sign up for water e-billing by creating an online water billing account & get notified by e-mail when your bill is due—it’s fast & easy! Visit barrie.ca/WaterBilling

Other options for paying your water/wastewater and tax bills include:

  • Pay Your Bills Online: Use online banking or an online bill payment service provider.
  • In-Person Payments: Visit your bank, Service Barrie (First floor of City Hall – 70 Collier Street) or by dropping off a cheque in the drop boxes located at the front entrance of City Hall (70 Collier Street).
  • Pre-authorized Payments: Sign up for pre-authorized payment plans to avoid delays.

Court Services

Due to the Canada Post labour disruption, please do not mail your payment. Payments can be made on-line at paytickets.ca or by phone. If you wish to request a trial, or submit any other application, please email it or attend in person.
