No Changes to the 2020 Property Tax Due Date So Far
Update March 23, 2020
We have had many questions whether or not the Property Tax due date of July 2, 2020 has or will be changed because of COVID 19; to date, the July 2 2020 deadline is still in effect. Any changes will be announced here and in the media, including City of Maple Ridge digital channels.

If you need to change/cancel the payment email a request directly or print the PAWS - Cancellation Form or PAWS - Change form and email it to autodebit@mapleridge.ca or drop it in the drop box outside City Hall.
Letter from Your Bank Asking You to Confirm your 2020 Home Owner Grant Eligibility
Updated March 23, 2020
You may receive a letter from your bank asking about your Home Owner Grant Eligibility. What the bank wants to know is, are you going to apply for the 2020 Home Owner grant this year for this property and if so, which grant? In other words, do any of the people on title live at the address and will they be turning 65 or older this year, or will they be claiming a disability grant?
The bank needs this information in order to know which column on the Property Tax notice to pay when the taxes are due, July 2, 2020.
The letter will indicate how the bank wants you to respond to them. You may be able to phone the bank to confirm the information, or you may have to send them a letter.
Please Note: You have not missed claiming the 2020 homeowner grant. It is not available yet. Home Owner Grants can be claimed when the taxes are levied in late May.
