2023 Property Tax Notice have been mailed to all homes and businesses in the community and should arrive over the next week. Property taxes are due on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
 
If a resident does not receive their Property Tax Notice by June 9, they can contact the City or download the Notice online at mycity.mapleridge.ca. To sign up for a ‘MyCity’ account, residents can refer to the previous year’s Property Tax Notice for important information, such as their property folio number and access code.
 
The City encourages taxpayers to save time and skip the line by paying their taxes online with their financial institution, paying by cheque (not cash) using the City’s secure Drop Box located at the west entrance at City Hall or by mail (make sure they are mailed well before the July 4 deadline to avoid penalties. Postmarks are not accepted as proof of on-time payment). Information is available online at mapleridge.ca/181.
 
For people that choose to make in-person payments, City Hall is open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays and open until 8:00 pm every Thursday in June.
 
Citizens are reminded that they need to claim their Home Owner Grant with the BC Government by July 4, 2023. To claim your grant, check your eligibility, or for more information go to gov.bc.ca/homeownergrant or call 1-888-355-2700.
 
The 2023 Tax Notice envelope includes your Property Tax Notice and an insert newsletter called ‘CONNECT Maple Ridge’ with information on Council’s 2023–2026 Strategic Plan, understanding your Tax Notice and a graphic on how your tax dollars are being allocated and invested. There’s also important information on various City bylaws, signing up for the new Alert Maple Ridge system and a link to upcoming community events and festivals for the summer.
