MUNICIPALITY OF THE DISTRICT OF LUNENBURG, NOVA SCOTIA - In order to offset the financial impact on residents and businesses during COVID-19, the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg has reduced the overdue tax payment interest rate from 10% to 0% from June 1, 2021 until August 31, 2021. After August 31, 2021, the interest rate will return to the normal rate of 10%.

“We appreciate that the vast majority of residents and businesses are paying their property tax bill on time,” said Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson. “However, we understand that a significant number of our residents are facing reduced hours, loss of employment, and loss of business during this time, and Council is taking measures to alleviate the financial stress put on residents and business owners. Reducing the overdue interest rate helps both resident and businesses who are having difficulty paying their tax bill and those who are currently in arrears.”
