Request Property Tax Notice

Property tax notices are usually mailed at the end of May. If you did not receive your Property Tax Notice, please contact the Finance Department 250-755-4415 or property.info@nanaimo.ca.

If you are registered for MyCity, you can view your property tax notice online. You can also change your billing preference with MyCity to receive your notice by email.  Need a MyCity account?  Register now.

Property taxes are due regardless of whether you received a property tax notice.

Consequences of unpaid taxes

Taxes unpaid by the due date (the first working day in July) are subject to a 5% penalty, and an additional 5% is levied on the second Thursday in August. Any remaining balance outstanding as of January 1 will accrue interest daily.

If you do not pay your taxes for three consecutive years, your property will be sold at the City’s Annual Tax Sale held on the last Monday of September.

The Province of British Columbia also offers options to defer your property taxes. For more information click Property Tax Deferment
