Taxes & Utilities

C homeowners may be eligible for the Home Owner Grant, which reduces the amount of property tax payable each year. Home Owner Grants are applied for directly with the Province of BC.

You must apply by the tax due date each year to avoid a penalty.

Apply online or call 1-888-355-2700. 

The BC Property Tax Deferment Program is a loan program that helps eligible BC homeowners pay their annual property taxes on their principal residence. To find out if you qualify and to apply, visit the BC Government website.

Water and sewer utilities are invoiced three times per year, covering four-month billing periods:

1. First period (January to April): billed at the beginning of May
2. Second period (May to August): billed at the beginning of September
3. Third period (September to December): billed at the beginning of January

Utility payments can be made in Canadian funds by:

• Cash
• Cheque (post-dated cheques are accepted)
• Debit
• Online or telephone banking
• Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) payment plan: Download the Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Form

Please note:

• Payments cannot be made in person at a bank. Some banks accept the payment but forward it by mail to the Village, which can result in a late payment.
• If paying by online or telephone banking, allow sufficient time for the transaction to process.
• Postmarks are not accepted as the payment date. Payments sent by mail or courier must arrive at the Village on or before the due date or may result in a late payment.
