Service Announcement
As the City of Penticton property tax deadline approaches, there are a variety of ways to make a payment that avoid waiting in line at City Hall.
Payments must be received by the City by July 29 at 4 p.m. in order to avoid a 10-per-cent penalty. Postmarks are not accepted as proof of payment date.
How to beat the rush?
- Pay online through your financial institution with either online or telephone banking services (allow 3-5 business days for the City to receive your payment).
- You can pay online with your credit card (there is no credit card option in-person at City Hall).
- Write a cheque, that you can send by mail, courier or put it in the drop box outside City Hall.
- And if you want to avoid next year’s lineups, look at signing up for pre-authorized payments for utilities and property taxes.
If you want to come in person, City Hall is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday, plus there’s four free 15-minute parking spots right outside for those paying property tax bills.
