2014 Property Taxes are due July 2nd

NEWS RELEASE - Distributed June 26, 2014 3:00 PM

Summary

Nanaimo Property owners are reminded that the 2014 Property Tax deadline is quickly approaching. All payments must be made, and Northern and Rural Home Owner Grants must be claimed by end of day July 2nd to avoid a 5% penalty that will be applied to any outstanding tax balance.

Last minute payments can be made in our office with debit card, cash, or cheque during office hours, or by putting a cheque in our drop box located by the front doors of the Service and Resource Centre (411 Dunsmuir Street) at any time. You can also make internet or telephone banking payments, wire a payment to the City's bank account, or make payment at your financial institution providing you have a copy of your tax notice.

Link to Strategic Plan: We are 'taking responsibility' and communicating the tax due date with our residents in as many ways as possible. This is part of The City of Nanaimo's Strategic Priorities to be an excellent municipal government.

Key Points

You can claim your Northern and Rural Home Owner Grant without making a payment. An outstanding grant is subject to penalties after July 2nd. It can even be claimed online at www.nanaimo.ca/goto/hog
We must have payment in our office by end of day July 2nd so please remember that post marks are not accepted as the date of payment. It is now too late to mail in your payment and/or grant.
If you are making payment at the bank, your tellers date stamp will be accepted as the date of payment. Please ensure that your bank will be forwarding the grant to our office if applicable.

Quotes

"Provincial Legislation does not allow for waiving penalties under any circumstance, so when we say July 2nd is the due date, it really is. Please contact our office if you need help claiming your grant or to go over payment options."
