PRINCE GEORGE — The City of Prince George is encouraging locals to pay their property taxes remotely this year due to the pandemic.

The City began mailing out the notices this week. Residents who subscribe to MyCity will be receiving their electronic notices next week via this service. MyCity is a secure online service that allows you to access tax, utility, dog and business licences information.

Council’s zero per cent tax increase means the total amount of property taxes collected this year will be the same as last.

City budget amendments for 2021 include:

School District 57

SD57 passes $2.2 million in spending for capital projects

15h ago

VSWP

Vanderhoof Specialty Wood Products employees laid off, says they were given little notice of impending curtailment

Increasing the annual budget for snow and ice control from $8.5 to $10 million.
A $501,000 increase in the City operating budget to cover all service areas except those with service/utility fees.
A $150,000 increase in the budget for road and sidewalk rehabilitation.
A $125,000 increase in funding for infrastructure reinvestment to keep pace with inflation.
No cost-of-living salary increase for the Mayor, members of Council, or City management for the second year in a row.
Reduction of travel, conferences, and other discretionary expenses.

Taxes are due by July 2.
