Do you get confused by property taxes?

I know I sure used to. They are assessed in January, but you pay in July? So Strange.

Here is a breakdown of how it works.

When you own a property in B.C., property taxes must be paid yearly for each property. The money raised from the property taxes you pay is used to fund local programs and services, such as:

• Police and fire protection
• Emergency rescue services
• Road construction and maintenance
• Garbage services
• Recreation and community centres
• Parks
• Libraries...
