It’s that time of year! Property taxes are due on July 4th, 2022 – You must claim your Home Owner Grant (if eligible) by then as well!

Home Owner Grant

The easiest way to apply for your Home Owner Grant is online. This grant is a credit of $570 that will go towards the total amount owing on your property taxes. To get started, you’ll need the jurisdiction and roll number for the property you are applying for. This can be found on the notice that was mailed to you last month, or on your BC Assessment that was mailed in January. Once you have this information, you can use this link here to get started.

If your property taxes are included in your mortgage payments and paid by your lender, you still need to apply for your Home Owner Grant. Your lender cannot do this on your behalf. If you do not claim your grant, you will face a penalty of 5%. If there are still any unpaid balances or unclaimed grants after Thursday, September 1, 2022, you will be charged a second 5% penalty.
