Important Notice
All Property Taxes Notices are mailed annually in the last week of May.
Property owners, who have not yet received their tax notice by the second week of June, should contact the Tax Department at 828 3437. New Property Owners are responsible for payment of their annual property taxes by the due date to avoid a 10% penalty, whether or not they receive a Property Tax Notice.

To avoid a penalty of 10%, payments and properly completed applications for the Home Owner Grant (HOG) must be received by 5pm, on the Property Tax Due Date, without exception. It is not necessary to make payment in order to apply for the HOG. HOG Applications must include your home phone number.

Home Owner Grants
Please note that the Home Owner Grant can also be applied for online. Visit www.kamloops.ca/ehog and follow the links to apply for your HOG. You will need to know your Folio Number and your Access Code – both are located on the top right had corner of your Property Tax Notice.

Payment Options
Payments may be made at most financial institutions in Canada (in person, by Telephone banking, or Internet banking), credit unions, by mail or in person at City Hall. Mail early to avoid 10% penalty. Post-dated cheques are accepted.

Note: Mail lost or delayed by post office will be assessed the penalty as the postmark will not be accepted as proof of payment by due date.

Please note City Hall hours:
In June we are open from 8am - 4pm, and then adding an hour on:
The last week of June until the Property Tax Due Date: 8am - 5pm.
