How to Get Cash Back on Your City of Markham bill

What is City of Markham?

City of Markham property tax bills average around $495/month for a typical household. Residential bills come twice a year: the interim bill (mailed early January) has two instalments due in February and March, and the 2026 final bill is due July 6 and August 5, 2026; the City asks you to pay about five business days before the due date so the bank transfer arrives in time.

Can I Pay City of Markham With a Credit Card?

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% to 2% cash back on top. On a typical $495/month City of Markham property tax, that's roughly $238 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same property tax.

The Math on Your City of Markham Property Tax

Average $495/month: a 2% cash-back card returns about $9.90/month, and Neobanc adds $4.95 to $9.90 on top, roughly $238 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

How do I save the most on my City of Markham property tax each month?

Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or Pre-Authorized Tax Payment Plan (PTP) earns nothing; the same property tax through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $238 a year. A 1% penalty is added to any unpaid instalment the day after the due date, then 1.25% interest is added on the first day of each month the balance stays unpaid, and Council cannot waive it. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
