How do I pay my Property Taxes? 

You can pay your taxes through the internet, telephone banking, post-dated cheques, by regular mail, or in-person.

Online/Telephone Banking

The most convenient way to pay your taxes is through internet or telephone banking. This option is available with most financial institutions. You will need to add the Town of Gibsons as a payee. Your “Roll” number, on the top left hand side of your tax notice, is your account number. Please ensure your online payment is made a few days before the deadline so that your payment is received by us by the due date. Also, don’t forget to claim your Homeowner Grant!

Postdated Cheques

An excellent way to avoid the last minute rush and line-ups and ensure your payment is received on time! You may mail or drop off your post-dated cheque any time prior to the deadline.

By Mail

Please ensure cheques are mailed in plenty of time to reach the Town office by the due date. Note: postmarks are not acceptable as proof of payment. Mail to Box 340, Gibsons, BC V0N 1V0. Please note that mail lost or delayed by the Post Office will be subject to penalties.

In Person

Cash and/or cheques may be brought into the Town Office. Credit cards are not accepted. To assist us in serving you, please have your cheque filled out prior to arrival. Town Hall is located at 474 South Fletcher Road in Gibsons. The office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays.

NEW – Online credit card payment

Canadian credit and debit cards (VISA and Mastercard) may be used to make online payments via OptionPay here. You will be asked for your ROLL NUMBER when entering payment information for your property taxes. This can be found on your property tax notice. *Please note that we do not accept credit card payments at Town Hall or by phone.

I didn’t receive my property tax notice. What should I do? 

If you haven’t received your tax notice by mid-June, please contact our office and we will provide you with a copy. If you are a new owner, our records may not yet reflect the change of ownership and the tax notice may have been sent to the previous owner. If you have changed your mailing address, it is important that you advise us so we mail your notice to the correct address.

Can I pay my taxes monthly? 

Yes, you can make periodic installments on your taxes throughout the year. The frequency of the payments is up to you. The most convenient way is to set up the payment online through your financial institution. You will need to add the Town of Gibsons as a payee. Your “Roll” number is your account number. You can find your Roll number on the top left hand side of your tax notice. There is no minimum or maximum amount for your payment. If you would like assistance estimating your monthly payment, or want to know your roll number, please contact our office. We also accept post-dated cheques. You can mail or drop them off at our office and we will deposit them on the date listed on the cheque.
