Check the “MORTGAGE COMPANY” box at the top right of your tax notice. If a company is listed, a copy has been sent to them. If it’s blank and your mortgage company pays your taxes, contact them—no copy was sent by the Village Office.
You must claim the home owner’s grant every year, whether you pay your taxes or your mortgage company pays them. Grants cannot be claimed at the Village Office. Apply as soon as you receive your 2026 tax notice (fastest online): https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/property-taxes/annual-property-tax/home-owner-grant/apply
Apply by phone at 1-888-355-2700 (Mon–Fri, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., excluding statutory holidays) or anytime using the automated phone system (regular or senior grant).

The tax due date is Thursday, July 2, 2026 (payment must be received by the Village Office by 4:00 p.m.). A 10% late penalty applies to all unpaid taxes (including home owner grant portions) after 4:00 p.m. on July 2, 2026. Taxes in arrears/delinquent accrue interest at 7.45% per annum from January 1, 2026 to the payment date (set by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development).
Delinquent amounts (plus interest) must be paid in full by 10:00 a.m. Monday, September 28, 2026 or the property may be sold at tax sale.
Village Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (excluding statutory holidays). We are closed Wednesday, July 1, 2026 for Canada Day. We accept cheques post-dated to July 2, 2026 so you can claim your home owner grant early and submit payment in advance.
Postmarks are not accepted as the payment date. The payment date is when your payment is processed at the Village Office. Online banking payments (CIBC or Integris Credit Union) are processed using your bank’s effective date; payments made after your bank’s cut-off may process the next day. To avoid penalty, pay early to allow for processing time.
