COQUITLAM, B.C., May 21, 2026 – Property tax notices are being mailed out to Coquitlam property owners next week. If you’ve signed up for e-bills through MyCoquitlam, expect to receive your bill this week. Payment is due July 2, 2026.
Where Your Tax Dollars Go
Property taxes are the primary way municipalities fund core services, including police protection, fire/rescue services, road maintenance, parks and trails, recreation and cultural services, programs and events, and more.
But not all of your property tax payment stays with the City. Approximately 41 cents of every property tax dollar is collected by the City on behalf of other government agencies, including the Province of B.C., TransLink, Metro Vancouver and B.C. Assessment.
Coquitlam’s 2026 budget takes a balanced, responsible approach that recognizes today’s affordability challenges, while ensuring the City continues to deliver on the services and amenities our community relies on. Through sound financial planning and careful cost-containment measures, the City limited the tax increase to reduce the impact on residents. For the average homeowner, that means an increase of about $93 in property taxes a year — less than $8 a month — to support today’s services while planning for the future.

Ways to Pay Your Property Taxes
- At your bank in person or online using the 8-digit folio/roll number from your tax notice.
- By credit card online using both the 8-digit folio/roll number and the access code from your tax notice.
- By cheque via the secure drop boxes at City Hall (3000 Guildford Way) and Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St.). Cheques can be post-dated up to the due date (do not deposit cash).
- In person at City Hall by cash, cheque or debit card.
Cheque payment by mail is also accepted; however, do not mail your cheque payment if a postal service disruption is pending. Property taxes must be paid by the due date to avoid penalty.
If you have questions about your tax notice, or do not receive one, contact the City’s Revenue Services Division by emailing PropertyTax@coquitlam.ca or calling 604-927-3050.
Provincial Programs to Help with Paying Taxes
The Home Owner Grant reduces the amount of property taxes you pay each year on your principle residence. Eligible owners must claim the grant directly through the Province before the property tax due date to avoid penalty. You do not need your property tax notice to apply. Visit gov.bc.ca/HomeOwnerGrant or call 1-888-355-2700 to apply.
Residents may qualify for the Provincial Property Tax Deferment Program, for their principal residence, if they meet the Provincial criteria. The Province has recently changed the program, therefore please visit gov.bc.ca/PropertyTaxDeferment for more information.
Pre-Pay Your 2027 Property Taxes
Coquitlam property owners can pre-pay their 2027 property taxes by setting up monthly instalments through the City’s prepayment program. Visit coquitlam.ca/TaxPrePay to learn more. Applications are due to Revenue Services by July 15 to start withdrawals on August 1.
