How to Pay Your Property Tax Bill

Due Date

The property tax due date is July 2, covering the period of January 1 through December 31.

Online through your bank or credit union. Use the 8-digit folio/roll located on the front of your tax notice as your account number. Ensure you select "Coquitlam" as the payee and select the "taxes" option.
Ensure the folio number on your tax notice is the same as the account number set up with your bank. Update your banking records with the correct folio number if you've recently purchased or sold a property.
In person at your bank or credit union with your tax notice.
Ensure your payment is processed by your financial institution on or before the due date to avoid penalty. Retain your receipt or payment confirmation.
