Overview 

If you want someone else to access your property tax information or act on your behalf, you must complete a letter of authorization. Under privacy protection rules, the Town of Milton can only share property tax details with a third party when the property owner has given written permission. 

A Letter of Authorization gives the Town permission to communicate with the individual you have designated regarding your property tax account. Without this written authorization, Town staff are unable to discuss or disclose your property tax information to anyone other than the registered property owner.


Who this is for 

This service is for: 

  • Property owners who want to authorize another person 

  • Family members or representatives acting on behalf of an owner 

  • Lawyers, agents, or financial representatives 

What you can authorize 

Once your letter of authorization is approved, the authorized person can request information such as: 

  • Balance information 

  • Payment plans 

  • Assessment appeals 

  • Tax or vacancy rebate applications 

  • Tax statements 

What you need 

Before you begin, make sure you have: 

  • A completed letter of authorization form 

  • A copy of valid government-issued photo ID 

How to submit a letter of authorization
