In Person: Service & Resource Centre - 411 Dunsmuir Street Office Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 - 4:30 Phone: 250-755-4415 (Available 8:30 - 4:30) Fax: 250-755-4440 Email: property.info@nanaimo.ca By Mail: 455 Wallace Street Nanaimo BC V9R 5J6 After the Due Date of July 4, 2016 a penalty of 5% is added to the current outstanding taxes. Another 5% penalty is added after August 11, 2016. These penalties are a requirement of the Community Charter. The City has no authority to either waive or modify these penalty amounts. A payment that is one day late is subject to the same penalty as a payment of taxes one month after the due date.
As of January 1, 2017, all outstanding current taxes and penalties are transferred to tax arrears and interest accrues on a daily basis.The two most common causes of getting a tax penalty that could easily be avoided are: 1. Not claiming your *Home Owner Grant on time. 2. Waiting until midnight on the due date to process your online payment. The legislation is black and white that the City must charge a penalty on any balance outstanding after the due date. Paying attention to these two simple notes may keep more money in your pocket. MyCity allows home owners 24/7 secure, online access to their property tax account. Signing up your property tax account with MyCity will allow you to view account balances and payment history, ensure that a yearly *Home Owner Grant has been claimed, and to view current and previous year tax notices. The City of Nanaimo can now send out property tax notices by EMAIL with MyBills. Each time a bill is available for viewing/payment, users receive a notification email to the address in which they have registered for MyCity with the bill attached.
This will be once a year in May (unless there are outstanding charges on the account). If you change your email address it is your responsibility to ensure that your MyCity account reflects the change. To make payment of your property taxes as convenient as possible, the following options are available: *The Home Owner Grant is a Provincial Government program designed to help homeowners with their property taxes. Effective 2011 the Province of British Columbia has introduced the Northern and Rural Homeowner Benefit. The benefit provides up to $200 for homeowners living outside of the Capital, Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts. To be eligible, homeowners must meet the requirements to receive the basic or additional homeowner grants. The new benefit will be included with property tax notices in May, and eligible homeowners will not need to apply separately. If you live within the City of Nanaimo you are eligible to receive this additional grant amount. There are two categories of grants which may reduce a home owner's property taxes:
Basic Grant of $770: To qualify for the Basic Grant you must: Additional Grant of $1045: To qualify for the Additional Grant you must: ONLINE *HOME OWNER GRANT APPLICATION If you qualify for the residential *Home Owner Grant, claim it online now! *Home Owner Grant Online Application The grant must be claimed each year that you're eligible by the due date to avoid penalties. To obtain the grant, you must complete the application form on the front of the tax notice or complete the online application. The grant can be claimed without making a payment. If you qualify for the additional grant and wish to obtain it, you must tick the box that describes your qualification. If over 65, state your birth date. If your mortgage company or other agent pays your property taxes, it is still your responsibility to claim *Home Owner Grant by completing the grant application by the due date each year.

The British Columbia Property Tax Deferment Program allows you to apply to defer payment of annual property taxes on your home if you are: The Province charges a one-time administration fee of $60 for any new deferment agreements and a $10 annual agreement fee on approved renewal applications. A renewal application is required each year as the deferment program does NOT automatically renew. The Province charges simple interest at a rate not greater than 2% below the prime rate of the Province's principal banker. The interest rate is set every six months and interest begins from the date your property taxes are due or the date you apply to defer, whichever is later. Please visit the Provincial Property Tax Site for the current interest rate. Families with Children Deferment Program Beginning in 2010, qualifying homeowners who are financially supporting a dependent child under age 18 will be able to apply to defer property taxes on their principal residence. This expansion of the Property Tax Deferment Program allows government to assist families with children, particularly during those years who household costs are typically the highest.
There are no fees for the Families with Children Property Tax Deferment Program. The Province charges simple interest on your deferment account set by the Minister of Finance at the prime rate. Please visit Provincial Property Tax Site for the current interest rate. Applications for all deferment programs are available at the Nanaimo Service & Resource Centre, Government Agents office or through the Provincial Government website at: www.gov.bc.ca/propertytaxes Completed applications are due before the tax due date to avoid any penalties. Unapproved applications are subject to full penalties. For more information, contact: Tax Deferment Office, Ministry of Finance.

If you wish to sign up in the middle of the year the monthly amount will be adjusted to reflect the number of months until the tax due date.
These payments are automatically deducted on the 15th of each month. Signing up for the Installment Plan Your estimated monthly amount is indicated on your property tax notice. Here is an example of how this figure is calculated for next year's taxes: The amount that you choose will continue to be taken from your bank account every month until you notify us otherwise. The only exception to this is the recalculation on July 15th where the payment plan will adjust for any shortfalls/overages throughout the year. The installment plan is an estimate only as taxes are not calculated until May of each year. It is the home owner's responsibility to verify that property taxes have been paid in full when on the installment plan. This is indicated on your property tax notice. If you do not have sufficient funds, or if the transfer is rejected for other reasons, a $19.00 service charge will be applied to your installment account. After three returned payments in one calendar year, you may be removed from the installment plan.
Once signed up for the Installment plan Changes to Your Account: You must contact the Finance Department in writing by the 5th of the month in any of the following circumstances: Stopping the Installment Plan: You can terminate the plan by notifying the Finance Department office in writing before the 5th of the month. For more information about the installment plan, please contact the Finance Department at City Hall 250-755-4415 or by email at property.info@nanaimo.ca Any property with taxes unpaid at the end of three years, will be sold at the City's annual tax sale. The City is obliged to hold the annual tax sale each year on the last Monday of September (or if this is a holiday, on the next Monday which is not a holiday). It is held at 10:00 AM at the City of Nanaimo Service and Resource Centre, located at 411 Dunsmuir Street. Regional Parks and Trails Parcel Tax collected for the Regional District of Nanaimo.
