Government of BC Home Owner Grant Information

At 10:00 am on the last Monday in September, the municipal collector must conduct an annual tax sale by offering for sale by public auction each parcel of real property on which taxes are delinquent.

Delinquent taxes are any taxes remaining unpaid on December 31, two years after the year the tax was imposed. For example, taxes imposed in 2022 and still unpaid become delinquent on January 1, 2024.

Learn more about unpaid arrears and delinquent taxes due to local governments.

The tax sale is held in the council chambers at municipal hall of each municipality in B.C.

If you struggle to pay Property Taxes, the Province of BC offers two different deferment programs. To defer your taxes means the Province will pay the City on your behalf, and a loan will be applied to your property to be paid at a later date.

Information from the BC Government on Tax Deferment Programs. There are currently 2 separate programs for deferment of property taxes: Regular (55 and older, or disability), or Family with Children. Application forms are available at City Hall.
