| This is a friendly reminder for all City of Vancouver property owners regarding the upcoming deadlines for the Empty Homes Tax and Advance Property Taxes, both due by February 3rd, 2026. Even if your property is occupied or exempt from the tax, filing the declaration is required through the City’s EHT portal Empty Homes Tax | City of Vancouver. Make sure to file before the deadline, otherwise, the City of Vancouver will deem the property as vacant and the tax will apply!
Advance Property Taxes for Vancouver property owners are also due on February 3rd, 2026, but there is no need to claim the Homeowner Grant when paying this portion. The Home Owner Grant will be claimed upon payment of the full tax in July. More information can be found at Understand your property tax notice | City of Vancouver. If you or your clients ever have questions regarding Vacancy taxes (including the Empty Homes Tax, the Provincial Speculation and Vacancy Tax, or the repealed Federal Underutilized Housing Tax) feel free to reach out to my office. As always, thanks for the support. |
