Property Tax Payment Due July 4, 2023
Your property taxes are an important source of funds required for the District to continue providing essential services.
Approximately 50% of your tax bill is collected by the District and remitted to other taxing authorities. The District is required to remit these funds by August 1 even if they have not been collected.
Property Tax Deferment Helps Pay Your Taxes By The Due Date
Deferring your property taxes ensures the District has access to the funds required to maintain services, while property owners make the payment later. Under this program, the Province pays property taxes on behalf of eligible owners, who then pay the Province back later.
Homeowners may qualify for the deferment program if they meet the following criteria:
- 55 or older during the current year
- it is your principal or primary residence
- a surviving spouse of any age
- a person with disabilities
- a parent, stepparent or financially supporting a child
