Water and property tax bill information

Payment of both water and property tax bills are due by April 24.
Register for the Township's ebilling service to receive an electronic version of your water utility bill directly to your email. Late payments are charged 5% after the due date.
To avoid missing or late payments sign up for automatic withdrawals through the Township’s Pre-Authorized Debit Program (PAD). Download the ebilling and PAD enrollment forms online at king.ca/waterbilling.
Street sweeping
King Township has started making a clean sweep of things as our street sweeping program is now underway.
Work will start in Schomberg, followed by Nobleton and then King City. After the villages are completed, sweeping will start in rural areas of the Township.
Our Public Works crew maintains 120 lane kilometers of gravel roads in King Township using strategies like grading, dust suppressants and gravelling. Grading occurs regularly to address potholes, drainage and driving surface quality, with priority given to high-volume roads.
Street sweeping operations enhance aesthetics and safety by removing debris. An annual sweeping program clears sand and debris from roads in the spring, with multiple passes if necessary. Weather, particularly rain, affects maintenance schedules, with sweeping postponed during heavy rainfall events to prevent the spread of sand and ensure effective cleaning. Sweeping started on April 15 in Schomberg, and this week our crews are moving on to Nobleton.
