The City of Kelowna is reminding local homeowners to pay their property taxes before Aug. 31.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, homeowners weren't required to pay their taxes by the usual July 2 deadline.
However, officials report that nearly 84% did pay before July 31.
Residents who have not yet paid their property taxes will receive a reminder notice in the mail that a 10% penalty fee will be applied to their tax bill if it is not paid before Aug. 31.
Some property owners have also received email notifications alerting them to the deadline for payment.
Property owners who are eligible and who haven’t claimed their Home Owner Grant can still do so online.
The City recommends property owners pay through their financial institution.
Those who participate in the pre-authorized withdrawal system (PAWS) are responsible for making their final payment as it is not automatically processed.
Other options for payment include paying online with a credit card, depositing a cheque in the drop box outside the Water Street doors to City Hall, mailing a cheque to City Hall, or paying in person.
