Municipality Launching E-Billing Campaign with a Chance to Win an iPad

The Municipality of Inverness County is encouraging residents to sign up for electronic billing for water utility and property tax bills.

This initiative is part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to modernize services and improve customer convenience. It is being launched now due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, which is expected to cause delays in the mailing and delivery of bills, including water utility bills scheduled to be mailed in early October.

E-billing offers a fast, secure, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paper bills. By choosing e-billing, residents can access their bills anytime, anywhere, while helping to reduce paper use and lower postage costs.

As an added incentive, residents who sign up for e-billing by December 1 will be entered into a draw to win a new iPad. Residents who are already enrolled in e-billing will be automatically entered into the draw.

“This initiative supports municipality’s broader efforts to modernize service delivery and reduce costs,” said Keith MacDonald, Municipality of Inverness County Chief Administrative Officer. “By switching to e-billing, residents are helping to streamline operations, reduce our environmental footprint, and improve access to information.”

While paper billing will continue to be available to residents who prefer it, the municipality encourages as many households as possible to consider e-billing. Recognizing the municipality’s diverse and aging population, the transition to digital services is being introduced with this in mind.

MacDonald adds, “Customers who sign up for e-billing will be able to see their current water utility bill. Those who do not sign up will need to wait until alternative mailing arrangements can be made.”

Benefits of switching to e-billing include:

• Modern and Efficient service delivery
• 24/7 Access to bills on any device
• Reduced Paper Waste and environmental impact
• Lower Costs associated with printing and mailing
• Secure and Reliable delivery via email

Signing up takes just minutes. How to sign up and enter to win an iPad:

• Submit an online form directly: Online Form Submission | Municipality of the County of Inverness .
• Download the online form and email to taxes@invernesscounty.ca
• Print off a copy, and drop off at the Municipal Administration Building, 375 Main St., Port Hood.

The shift to e-billing reflects the Municipality of Inverness County’s broader commitment to improving services for residents.
