If you do not receive your notice by the second week of June, please contact the Financial Services Department at White Rock City Hall at 604-541-2100.

All property owners, even new owners, are responsible for payment of property taxes by the due date to avoid penalty, regardless of whether a tax notice is received.

Late Payments

 To avoid late payment penalties, property tax payments must be received in full on or before July 2.

An additional 5 per cent penalty will be applied to 2021 taxes and levies unpaid after August 16, 2021.

Interest will be charged on arrears (2020) and delinquent (2019) taxes until paid. The Province of BC sets the rates on a quarterly basis.
