City of Vernon Property Tax Notices were put in the mail on May 26, which means property owners should have received their Notice recently. If you have opted for e-billing, please check your email inbox for your Notice.
Property taxes and Home Owner Grant (HOG) applications are due by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, July 4, 2022, in order to avoid penalty.
Homeowners are reminded they will need to submit a properly completed HOG application directly to the Province of British Columbia, either by phone or online. The B.C. Home Owner Grant reduces the amount of property tax you pay for your principal residence, and application for the grant must be made each year, even if your mortgage company or bank pays your taxes. It is not necessary to make a tax payment in order for eligible owners to claim the Home Owner Grant.
For more information on the Provincial Home Owner Grant application process, visit gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant or call 1-888-355-2700 to speak with a live agent.
To help property owners avoid waiting in a potentially long lineup to pay their taxes, there are several ways you can make a payment without having to stop by the City Hall cashier station:
- Online through your financial institution;
- By cheque through the mail; or
- By using the 24-hour drop box at the front entrance to City Hall.
Please note that postmarks on mailed remittances will not be considered as date of payment.
