When entering your payment information for taxes you’ll be asked for the roll number. This can be found in two spots on your tax notice.
Tickets / Fines
This is for municipal tickets and fines ONLY. This does NOT apply to photo enforcement or Provincial tickets. See the back of those tickets for information on how they can be processed.
