Property Taxes Due

Property owners are advised municipal property taxes payable to the City of Fernie are due by JULY 4, 2016, 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 Property Tax Notice.  In the event of DISRUPTION IN MAIL DELIVERY your Property Taxation payment due date does not change.  It is your responsibility to ensure the City of Fernie receives your tax payment by the due date of July 4, 2016.

Payment of your property taxes can be made by mail, in person at City Hall, or by phone/internet banking. We do not accept credit cards. You can also pay your taxes in person at most financial institutions. Eligible property owners must complete the Home Owner Grant application (every year) that is attached to the bottom portion of your Tax Notice and remit it to City Hall or new this year you can claim your Home Owner Grant Online.  Penalities apply to Home Owner Grants not claimed by July 4, 2016.

Property owners are reminded to allow time for your payment to arrive at City Hall by the due date.  Cheques post dated to July 4, 2016 will be accepted at City Hall.  Post marks on mailed remittances will NOT be considered as day of payment.  Allow time for electronic payments - they will be recorded at the date and time the funds are received in the City's bank account and not when the payment is transmitted by your financial institution.

If you have questions regarding your property taxes please email cityhall@fernie.ca or call the Finance Department at 250.423.6817.
