Property Taxes

The value of a property for taxation purposes is determined by BC Assessment, an organization that is independent from the municipality. Provincial and local governments use property assessments to determine what tax rates may be required to ensure the revenue needed to pay for public services. View this information from BC Assessment designed to provide an explanation, or visit BC Assessment on YouTube for additional videos.

Property tax due – July 4, 2022

Find out about your property tax and homeowner grant information below.

Property Tax Statement

Property Tax Statements are mailed to residents by the end of May annually. If you do not receive the property tax statement by mid-June, contact the Revenue and Tax Collection Department at 604-533-6005, or email us at tax@tol.ca.

Property owners are responsible for payment of property taxes whether or not a Property Tax Statement is received.

Property tax rates, along with the property classification and assessed value of your property, are used to determine the amount of your property taxes. Property taxes cannot be appealed. 

Visit tax payment methods for more information.

To view last year's property tax levy information online, please create a MyTownship account.

Late payment penalty

A penalty of five per cent (5%) will be applied to the current year taxes if not paid by July 4, 2022. A penalty of 5% will also be applied to the home owner grant if not claimed by July 4, 2022.

An additional penalty of 5% will be applied to current year taxes and the unclaimed home owner grant after September 1, 2022.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

When will I receive my property tax notice 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?
Property taxes are due on the first business day after Canada Day each year. As such, the date can vary from one year to the next. In 2022, taxes are due July 4.
What timeline do my property taxes cover?
Taxes run on a calendar year, January 1 to December 31, they are paid in July.
Do I get a Home Owner Grant?
To qualify for the grant, you must be the registered owner of the residence, be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada, live in BC, and occupy the residence as your principal residence. In addition, your assessed value must not exceed the grant threshold. To apply, visit gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant.
How do I change my address?
To change your address on your Property Tax Statement, please visit bcassessment.ca or call 1-866-825-8322. To change the address on your Dog Licence account, please email dogs@tol.ca. To change your Metered Utility mailing address, please contact metered@tol.ca.
Who should pay this year’s property taxes if I am selling?
The answer depends on who owns the property on Tax Due date. The owner on 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 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 Tax Due date, then the new owner will be paying you for the portion of the year they will be living in the home.
How do I defer my property taxes?
Complete your deferment application (new or renewal) online. Ensure all user fees (water, sewer, garbage) any outstanding property taxes and the home owner grant (if applicable) need to be paid by due date to avoid penalty. Your property tax account must be up to date. This means you must pay any property taxes owing from previous years, penalties, or interest as well as any utility charges of water, 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.
Do you accept credit cards for property tax payments?
No, credit cards are not accepted for property tax payments. The acceptable forms of payment include cash, cheque, debit or online/telebanking.
What is 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.
How do I get proof of property tax payment for my mortgage company?
Contact the Revenue and Tax Collection Department at tax@tol.ca for a Tax Certificate.
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.
How can I sign up for the Pre-Authorized Debit Plan?
See Payment Methods to access the Pre-Authorized Debit Application form. Submit the completed form along with a voided cheque to start your monthly payments.
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.
Can I view my tax statement and account online?
Yes. eBilling is now available. As the Township works to deliver excellent customer service to our residents and businesses, MyTownship and eBilling for property taxes is now available. You can easily view your property tax account through this secure online service.
  • Create an online MyTownship account at tol.ca/MyTownship.

  • Choose to receive your property tax statement electronically.
  • Click the My Accounts button.
  • Click the box with your address to access your account.
Why didn’t I receive my residential utility bill?
The Township of Langley does not separate the utilities from the Property Tax Statement. As such, if you are a residence, your flat rate charges are included in your yearly tax bill.
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.
