Permissive Tax Exemptions

A permissive tax exemption may be provided to an eligible property, such as a registered charitable institution or society, by bylaw at the discretion of Council. Please view our guidelines to ensure your property is eligible.  

For rules and regulations that govern permissive tax exemptions in the Province of British Columbia, please see the Community Charter (section 224).

If you are eligible and wish to be considered for exemption of your 2026 property taxes, complete the application and submit to Legislative Services by July 31, 2025 in order to be considered for the following tax year.
