Tax Due Dates
Property Taxes are due on the first regular work day after Canada Day - July 4, 2011.
Property Taxes and the Provincial Home Owner grants must be claimed by this date (a grant application must be completed each year), in order to avoid penalty charges.
Penalty Amount & Dates
A 5% penalty will be added to the outstanding current taxes at midnight on the due date (including the value of the Provincial Home Owner grant, whether ultimately claimed or not). A further penalty of 5% will be applied at midnight on August 1. If you mail in your tax payment and/or grant claim the date of payment/claim will be deemed to be the date of the postmark.
These penalties are a requirement of the Province (via Local Government Act). The City of Pitt Meadows has no authority to either waive or modify these penalty amounts. No exceptions will be made as it is important that all taxpayers are treated equally.
REMEMBER... If you are eligible, you must forward your completed Home Owner Grant application ON OR BEFORE July 4 even if taxes are paid by prepayment (PAP), PC/Telebanking or your mortgage company to avoid penalty.
