PROVINCE OF BC PROPERTY TAX DEFERMENT PROGRAM
The Property Tax Deferment Program is a low interest loan program that helps qualified BC homeowners pay their annual property taxes on their principal residence. You may qualify if you are 55 or older during the current year, a person with disabilities, or a family supporting children in certain circumstances. 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 homeowner grant each year. The deadline to defer 2026 property taxes is December 31, 2026. Questions should be directed to 1 888 355-2700 or refer to the deferment program website.
