Property Taxes Due July 2

Property Tax Notices for the City of Fernie have been mailed out to all property owners on record.  If you have not received your tax notice please contact City Hall at 250-423-6817 or cityhall@fernie.ca and request that a copy be forwarded to you. 

New property owners who have not received a notice are advised to contact City Hall.  Property taxes are payable by July 2, 2015, after which time a 10% penalty will be added to any unpaid current year taxes.  No exemption from taxation or penalty is conferred by reason of non-receipt of the PropertyTax Notice.

Payment of your property taxes can be made by:

• mail; in person at City Hall; or by phone or internet banking; as well as in person through most financial institutions.

Please allow time for your payment to arrive at City Hall prior to the due date;

• Cheques post dated to July 2, 2015 will be accepted at City Hall;
• Post marks on mailed remittances will not be considered as date of payment; and
• Receipt of electronic payments will be recorded at the date and time the funds arrive in the City’s bank account and not when the payment is transmitted by your financial institution. 

 Regardless of the method of payment, eligible property owners must complete the Home Owner Grant application that is attached to the bottom of the Tax Notice and remit it to City Hall in order to claim the Grant.  Penalties apply to Home Owner Grants not claimed by July 2, 2015.

 PROPERTY TAXES ARE DUE BY JULY 2, 2015.
