Property Taxes & Utilities
2020 Property Taxes
2020 Property Tax information will be available on the My Property Portal on May 19. If you receive your notice by mail, it should arrive by the first week of June.
City council is aware of the financial stress the pandemic has placed on Burnaby residents and businesses, and has taken measures to lower the property tax rate increase to 1.75% for 2020. The reduced property tax rate increase will be achieved through a delay in hiring and deferral of projects due to the current circumstances, without affecting services to residents.
2020 Deferment Program
NEW for 2020! The BC government is making it easier to apply for the property tax deferment program. BC residential property owners can now apply for property tax deferment on their principal residence online. Visit www.gov.bc.ca/propertytaxdeferment.
