Property taxes are one of the ways the City collects revenue to pay for essential services, programs, and infrastructure in the community, including public safety, transportation and transit, recreation and culture, roads and sidewalks, parks and trails, and more. The amount you pay is based on the funds the City needs to provide municipal services each year, and your property's type and assessed value.
E-billing allows property owners to receive and view their property tax bills online or by email. It also allows you to view your property tax account balance and payment history online at icity.cnv.org.
To register, you will need your 9-digit Roll Number and 6-digit Access Code, located on the top right corner of your property tax notice. Learn more and sign up at icity.cnv.org.

Banks and other Financial Institutions
Pay through your financial institution in person, online, or over the phone using the 9-digit roll number found on your property tax notice as your account number (you may need to exclude the decimal point).

Property taxes are calculated by dividing the assessment value for your property by 1,000 and multiplying that figure by the tax rate established for your property class.
There are a number of factors that affect property taxes on a particular property:
- Changes in assessed value
- Changes in the City's property tax rate
- Changes in other taxing agencies' tax rate
Tax Collection for Other Agencies
The City is required by the Province to collect taxes on behalf of other taxing agencies, and in turn gives these taxes directly to them. These agencies include the Municipal Finance Authority, BC Assessment, Metro Vancouver, Translink, and the Province of BC (school taxes).
The City has no control over the amounts of these taxes, as the agencies determine their own rates based on their own budgetary requirements. In 2025, approximately 42% of taxes collected are on behalf of other agencies.
