[ARCHIVED] Shift to Online Services in Advance of Potential Canada Post Strike

With a possible Canada Post strike on the horizon, there are plenty of easy, convenient ways to connect with the City of Coquitlam online—anytime, all year long.

COQUITLAM, B.C., May 15, 2025 – With a possible Canada Post strike on the horizon, there are plenty of easy, convenient ways to connect with the City of Coquitlam online—anytime, all year long.

We’re committed to keeping you informed and making sure you can still access the services you need, even if mail delivery is disrupted. From paying bills to applying for permits, reporting issues, and more, our online tools are here to help keep things running smoothly. 

A postal strike may result in delays in receiving property tax notices, business licence notices or other important documents, and daily interest may apply to any unpaid balances and fees. Consider other ways to pay, such as online, using a secure drop-box or in-person at City Hall.

myCoquitlam Offers Secure Online Access

City of Coquitlam utility, property tax, and dog licence accounts can be accessed through myCoquitlam, a secure service that allows businesses and residents to access information on their accounts online. The service is easy to use and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

Additional information for residents can be accessed through the Online Services web page at Coquitlam.ca/eServices.

Businesses with outstanding balances owing can visit coquitlam.ca/BusinessLicences and click on “Business Licence online” to enter their business licence number and make payments. If you do not receive your renewal notice, contact business licensing staff by email at BusinessLicences@coquitlam.ca

Support for New and Existing Vendors

New vendors and customers working with the City can complete and submit a Vendor Profile Application at coquitlam.ca/purchasing to set up direct deposit (electronic funds transfer). Existing vendors or customers wishing to make a change to the payment method can contact APInvoices@coquitlam.ca. Invoices can be sent electronically to APInvoices@coquitlam.ca.

Full Online Services Support Residents and Businesses

With an extensive list of online offerings, the City has options available across City services.
