Property Taxes
By legislation, regional districts do not issue tax notices or collect property taxes. The Province of BC's Surveyor of Taxes office issues tax notices for rural areas. Payment of property taxes for properties in the unincorporated areas of the Regional District must be made to the Province. The Surveyor of Taxes maintains the tax records for rural properties.
Please note that a single mill tax rate is not used to determine property taxes as each individual property receives varying services depending on its location within the Regional District, therefore, multiple rates are used to determine the amount of property taxes to be levied.
