Any current year amounts outstanding after this date, including Home Owner Grants, will be charged a 5 per cent penalty. 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.
