Property Tax Time

By
It is that time of year again… property tax time! There are several ways that homeowners can pay their property taxes:

  • Pay them annually or make arrangements at City Hall to make instalments throughout the year. Here is their contact information: http://princegeorge.ca/Pages/Contact.aspx
  • If you have a mortgage on your property, your lender may pay them on your behalf and take out monthly instalments with your mortgage payment. If you have purchased a home in the last several months, it is important to find out your lender’s guidelines on property tax payments. Some lenders will start collecting for next year and it will still be your responsibility to pay for this year’s taxes.
  • If you cannot find your property tax information, you can search for it here: https://cobweb.city.pg.bc.ca/tempestlive/webinquiry/frames.cfm     
It is also important to claim your Home Owner’s Grant if you qualify. Even if your lender is paying the taxes on your behalf, they will generally assume that you have claimed your grant. Here is information on Home Owner’s Grant http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/individuals/Property_ Taxes/Home_Owner_Grant/hog.htm

You can claim your Grant in person at the City or online here: https://cobweb.city.pg.bc.ca/tempestlive/ecom/hog/login.cfm

This is merely a third party, custodial arrangement which means that your lender has used Computershare to review the mortgage and provide custodial certification to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC) for their government securities program. Computershare is the largest provider globally of many of the services they offer and the largest corporate trust service provider in Canada. They have successfully provided this custodial service to many Canadian bank and non-bank lenders for many years and they play a very important role in the Government of Canada’s NHA Mortgage-Backed Securities Program. Computershare has served as the exclusive Central Payor and Tr
