Aquatics Centre currently closed for renovations

The Aquatics Centre has been closed to the public since November 2024, to accommodate renovations to the space that would address safety concerns caused by saltwater and high humidity. These renovations were deemed essential to ensure the facility could be used safely and effectively by the community. Due to unexpected recently discovered structural issues caused by saltwater and high humidity stemming from insufficiently sized HVAC equipment installed during the original construction, the renovation work is now expected to extend closure until fall 2025. 

Project updates and a reopening date, once confirmed, will be provided through local media, the Town website (www.townofstmarys.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/stmarysontario) and Twitter/X (www.twitter.com/townofstmarys).

Property Tax Rates

Annual tax rates are calculated during the spring budget process. Once the tax levy by-law has passed, the rates will be posted in PDF format on this page (accessible versions available upon request).

Interim payments are based on 50% of the last year's taxes divided into two payment dates.

The final billing will be the total taxes for the year less the interim billing - divided into two equal installments.
