Can I Pay City of Ottawa 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 $375/month City of Ottawa property tax, that's roughly $180 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same property tax.

The Math on Your City of Ottawa Property Tax

Average $375/month: a 2% cash-back card returns about $7.50/month, and Neobanc adds $3.75 to $7.50 on top, roughly $180 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

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

Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or Property tax Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) plan earns nothing; the same property tax through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $180 a year. Ottawa adds a 1.25% penalty the day after the due date plus 1.25% interest monthly. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
