Pre-paying your taxes

Ease the financial strain of paying your property taxes in one lump sum. By using our prepayment option, you can pay your taxes and utilities in nine equal installments throughout the year. There are three ways to pre-pay your property taxes:

Pre-authorized payment plan

You can set up pre-authorized payments by:

filling out a pre-authorized payment form
submitting the form and a void cheque in the Finance drop box at the back of City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, or
submitting the form and a void cheque by email to tax@portmoody.ca.

Monthly payments are automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the 5th of the month from September to May. This is to pay in advance for the next tax and utility bills, not currently levied amounts.

Post-dated cheques

Drop off your post-dated cheques in the Finance drop box at the back of City Hall, 100 Newport Drive. By paying with post-dated cheques, you have the ability to:

select the date for each payment
determine the amount for each payment

You can vary the dates and amounts each month to better fit your personal budget.

Telephone or internet banking

Contact your bank or financial institution to schedule automated bill payments to your tax account.

To pay you will need to:

set the City of Port Moody as the payee. Search for "Port Moody Tax" when paying online.
enter the property folio number (without the dash) as your account number when making payments

The property folio number is located on the left side of your tax notice.

If you are on the pre-payment plan and sell your property, it is your responsibility to contact us and cancel the pre-authorized payment plan. If you would like to make changes to your existing plan, please fill out and submit the Pre-payment plan change form.

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.

We need your current address in order to mail a tax notice to you. Mailing address changes must be done through the BC Assessment Authority.
