Prepayment Plan |
The Pre-Authorized Payment (PAPP) Plan enables taxpayers to make monthly instalments toward next year's property taxes. Current year's taxes must be paid before the municipality can accept prepayments on the next year's taxes. The plan pays monthly interest based on the prescribed rate of interest as determined by the Lieutenant Governor in Council in accordance with Section 239(2) of The Community Charter. This interest is considered a tax discount by Canada Revenue Agency and is not subject to income tax. How it WorksDeductions from your bank account are made on the tenth of each month, except June and July. For June and July the taxpayer must apply for the Provincial Home Owner Grant, if eligible, and then pay the final outstanding tax amount. The minimum monthly instalment is $20. The maximum is dependent on the prior year's levy for that property. The taxpayer may, in writing, cancel this arrangement at any time but there will be no refund of any payments made prior to the cancellation and the City of West Kelowna will continue to pay interest on any amounts paid. This notification must be received at least five business days before the next debit/payment. If the subject property is sold, it is up to the discretion of the Collector to determine if a refund is permitted. Sign UpPrint and complete the Pre-Authorized Prepayment (PAPP) Application Form, attach a void cheque and return to the City of West Kelowna via the after hours drop box next to the main entrance at City Hall or via mail at 2760 Cameron Road, West Kelowna, BC V1Z 2T6. Please note, the Terms and Conditions of the Property Tax Prepayment Plan are also contained in the form. Please complete the Pre-Authorized Prepayment Revision Form for changes. |
