Rural Property Tax notices
Rural Property Tax notices
Property owners in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas will soon be receiving their 2022 Rural Property Tax Notices from the BC Government.
In the electoral areas the Province collects Rural Property Tax Notice payments while municipal governments directly collect the taxes for Regional District purposes from their property owners.
To avoid any penalty, property owners in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas should ensure that their Rural Property Tax is paid to the Minister of Finance by the July 4 due date. If they have questions about their Rural Property Tax Notice, their Homeowner Grant Application or tax deferment programs, they should contact the Surveyor of Taxes at 1-888-355-2700; email ruraltax@gov.bc.ca; or go online to the Ministry of Finance website.
All property owners in the Central Okanagan are reminded that:
- the Regional District doesn’t collect taxes directly
- cannot accept Property Tax payments
Property owners in the City of Kelowna, City of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country and District of Peachland must direct their property tax payments to their local government.
