Accounts Payable and Receivable

Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable function of the Municipality reviews and processes all disbursements and payments, including invoices for goods and services, prepayment, municipal contributions, contract holdbacks, expense disbursements, transfers, income and HST remittances, and refunds.

Methods of Payment

We offer two methods for you to receive your payment:

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Electronic Funds transfer is an environmentally friendly and cost effective option. Vendors receive payment faster than with cheques. There is also no risk of payment being lost or stolen as the payment is transferred securely and directly to your bank account.

If you are interest in this option, complete the electronic fund transfer form.

Cheques

For vendors that do not accept payment by EFT, we issue payment by cheque. Cheques are mailed out directly to the vendor address provided on the invoice.

Accounts Receivable

The Accounts Receivable function is responsible for issuing invoices and collecting outstanding fees owed to the Municipality. Due dates are specified on your invoice.

We issue invoices for the following billings:

North Perth Child Care Centres
Perth Meadows
Elma Landfill
General Administration
Building/Zoning
Cemeteries

For procedures relating to Fees, Payment Terms, Payment Options, Penalties, Refunds, and more, please review the Accounts Receivable Policy, effective January 1, 2023.
