Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

See Utility Fees FAQ for more information.

Property Assessed Value and Tax Impacts

If my assessed value goes up, does that mean my taxes are going up?
Changes in property value do not change the overall tax levy. Instead, the Township adjusts the tax rate to offset the average increase in assessed values to only generate the amount of money needed to run the Township’s operations. Watch BC Assessment's video for more information.
Why is there a Secondary Suite Infrastructure Fee on my property tax statement?
Starting in 2025, properties with a secondary suite will see a Secondary Suite Infrastructure Fee added to their property tax statement. If you have questions, please contact the Permits, Licence and Inspections Department at 604-533-6018.
Development is happening all around me and my assessment is going up. Is there any relief for taxes?
Section 19(8) of the Assessment Act allows certain residential land to be assessed at less than market value where the owner qualifies and provided the property has potential for development for a more valuable use than its current use. Visit the BC Assessment website for more information.

Utility and Property Tax Statement Separation

Why does my property tax statement appear the same or higher this year, even though utility fees are now billed separately?

If you have noticed your property taxes staying the same or increasing, it may be due to a change in the assessed value of your property. The annual tax rate adjustment approved by Township Council—which remains among the lowest in the region—applies only to the Township of Langley portion (54%) of your tax bill.

It Is also important to note that a portion (46%) of your property taxes is collected on behalf of other taxing authorities—including Metro Vancouver, TransLink, the Municipal Finance Authority, BC Assessment, and the Province for school taxes—over which the Township has no control.

Watch BC Assessment's video to learn how property assessments affect your taxes.

Why were utility user fees separated from the property tax statement?

Splitting the statements allows for more clarity with billing as the Township of Langley continues to grow, more flexibility for property owners with budgeting payments, and is consistent with the model used by many other municipalities in the Metro Vancouver region. Visit Utility Fees to learn more.

This change also allowed the Township to introduce a Voluntary Water Metering Program, to encourage water conservation and to provide residents an equitable way to pay for the water they use. 

Can I pay my property tax and utility fee statements on the same account?

No, the property tax account and utility account are separate.

Property tax: The 10-digit folio/roll number is the account number used to identify your property, and can be found on the front page of your property tax statement. Find more information about property tax payment methods.

Utility fees: The Utility Account number can be found on the front page of your utility statement. Flat rate utility accounts are 6 digits. Metered utility accounts are 5 digits. If paying online, a new payee must be added (search for “Langley” and select "Langley Township – Utilities”). Find more information about utility fee payment methods.

Billing and payment information

When will I receive my property tax statement in the mail?
Property tax statements are mailed to all property owners at the end of May each year.
When is the property tax due date?
The property tax payment deadline is the first business day after Canada Day each year. As such, the date can vary from one year to the next. In 2025, the deadline is Wednesday, July 2.
What timeline do my property taxes cover?
Taxes run on a calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and are paid in July.
How do I get proof of property tax payment for my mortgage company?

Property owners can contact the Revenue and Tax Collections Department at tax@tol.ca to request a tax certificate. Visit Tax Information Certificates for more information.

Can I view my tax statement and account online?

Yes. MyTownship and eBilling for property taxes is available. You can easily view your property tax account through this secure online service.

How can I sign up for the Pre-Authorized Debit Plan?

Complete the Pre-Authorized Debit Plan application form and email it along with a voided cheque to tax@tol.ca. Visit How to Pay to access the form and learn more.

Homeowner support and deferment programs

Do I get a home owner grant?
The home owner grant is administered by the Province of British Columbia. Visit gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant or phone 1-888-355-2700 to learn about qualification criteria, how to apply and more.
How do I defer my property taxes?
Complete your deferment application (new or renewal) online. Your property tax account must be up to date. This means you must pay any property taxes owing from previous years, penalties, interest, as well as any utility fees of water, sanitary sewer and garbage if they are applicable to your property. These amounts are not eligible to be deferred. Apply for the home owner grant, if eligible, and pay utilities, if applicable.

General information

What is a tax sale?
The annual tax sale is held in the form of a public auction on the last Monday in September. It is a collection tool that enables municipalities to recover outstanding property taxes. Properties with three years of outstanding taxes are auctioned to the highest bidder. Visit Tax Sale for more information.
How do I change my address?
To change the address on your property tax statement, property title or metered water utility account, visit Changing Your Address Information for more information.
Who should pay this year’s property taxes if I am selling?
The answer depends on who owns the property on the Tax Due date. The owner on the Tax Due date is responsible for the entire year’s taxes. Your lawyer or notary will provide you with a Statement of Adjustments. If you sell your home before the Tax Due date, there will be a line item on your Statement where you will be paying the new owner for the portion of the year you lived in the home. If you sell after the Tax Due date, then the new owner will be paying you for the portion of the year they will be living in the home.
As a new owner, what do I need to know about paying property taxes?
Property taxation is the single most important source of municipal revenue. Collected taxes fund operations, fire/police departments, recreation facilities and road construction, to name a few. Each property owner is responsible for their share each year. New property owners are responsible for payment of their annual property taxes by the due date to avoid penalty, whether or not they receive a property tax notice.
