Home owner grant

Effective 2021, residents in municipalities no longer apply for the home owner grant through their municipal office. Everyone will now apply directly to the province using a new online system that's easy to use and will process applications faster. 

For more information on eligibility and how to apply for the grant, visit gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant, or call 1-888-355-2700.

Property tax deferment program

Tax deferment is a low interest loan program that helps B.C. homeowners pay their property taxes. Applications for the property tax deferment program are now submitted online through eTaxBC. The City cannot accept paper applications. Learn more about the online application process at gov.bc.ca/propertytaxdeferment
