More than 14,000 City of West Kelowna property owners will soon receive their tax notices through Canada Post and all residents are encouraged to pay online before the July 2 due date.
The City also reminds residents to please claim the Home Owner Grant online before the July 2. Visit online.westkelownacity.ca to claim the grant.
Those experiencing financial challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic have until September 30 to pay, if needed, without facing the 10 per cent late payment penalty, which the City would normally have charged July 3. For 2020 only, the City will charge the penalty October 1. Unclaimed Home Owner Grant amounts are subject to the 10 per cent penalty. Regardless of when you can pay, please claim the grant.
Eligible residents may also wish to defer payments through the Provincial Tax Deferment Program. Please visit www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/property-taxes/annual-property-tax/defer-taxes for more information.
Residents are encouraged to pay in advance, before July 2, using one of the following methods:
