$2 Paper Billing Fee for Water and Tax Bills

Paper water bills will have a $2 fee starting in March 2026.

This $2 fee also applies to property tax bills, beginning in June 2026.

This fee helps cover the real costs of printing and mailing paper bills, such as paper, envelopes, and postage. It also cuts down on paper use, improves service, and is more reliable during mail disruptions.

Those who sign up for e-billing will not be charged the $2 fee.

Heritage Week - "Did You Know?" - Heritage Permits - February 18, 2026

By Mississippi Mills - Feb 18, 2026

Heritage Week is a great time to learn how we protect and care for the historic places that make Mississippi Mills unique. 

If you’re planning work on an individually designated heritage property or a property within the Downtown Almonte Heritage Conservation District, you may need a Heritage Permit. Heritage Permits are required for alterations, additions, new construction, or demolitions to designated heritage properties to ensure changes respect the historic character of the property and surrounding area. There is no application fee for a Heritage Permit.  

  • Planning a project? Start early. 
    Property owners are encouraged to contact the Planning Division early in the process to book a pre-consultation meeting and discuss Heritage Permit requirements. 
    Email jrussell@mississipppimills.ca or call 613-256-2064

  • Minor Heritage Permits 
    Required for small alterations that maintain the integrity of a heritage property. 

  • Major Heritage Permits 
    Required for larger alterations, additions, new construction, or dual designated properties. 

To get started, review the Heritage Permit Guidelines and submit your formal application to the Planning Department. There is no application fee for a Heritage Permit. 

This Heritage Week, we thank the residents, property owners, and volunteers who help preserve Mississippi Mills’ history, today and for generations to come.
