Property Tax Information

The value of your property as assessed by the BC Assessment Authority, is multiplied by the tax rates as set out by each of the taxing jurisdictions to determine your property taxes. Questions related to your property assessment should be referred to the BC Assessment Authority office in Nanaimo (900-5800 Turner Rd, Nanaimo, V9T 6J4) at 1 866 825-8322.

PROPERTY TAXES 2024
Property taxes are due July 2, 2024. If you do not receive your 2024 tax notice by June 10, call 250 248-6144. A 5% penalty will be applied to all outstanding current year property taxes, including the portion related to any unclaimed home owner grant, after July 2, 2024. An additional 5% penalty will be applied after September 16, 2024.

All deferment applications and renewals are administered by the Province of BC using the Tax Deferment Program website. Unpaid taxes, utilities, penalties, and interest from prior years must be paid to the City to be eligible to defer current year taxes. Residents must still apply for their home owner grant each year.
