This tax deferment program is a new option for families who need support during those years when household costs are typically highest.

With residential property tax notices being issued by municipalities, informational brochures for families about how to sign up for the Families with Children Property Tax Deferment Program provied here. These brochures explain who qualifies for the program, how to apply, and when deferred taxes must be repaid.

As with the Property Tax Deferment Program for seniors and the Financial Hardship Property Tax Deferment Program, the Families with Children Property Tax Deferment Program allows eligible homeowners to defer their annual property taxes for the 2010 and following tax years. To qualify, a person must have 15 per cent equity in their home and be a B.C. resident who financially supports a child under age 18. Eligible homeowners can defer all or part of the unpaid portion of their property taxes until they sell or transfer ownership of their home, or it becomes part of an estate.

To learn more about this low interest option for BC families and others who would qualify I invite you to read the brochures on this page.
