Property taxes are based on a formula that uses the assessed value provided by the Government of Yukon and mill rates established by the City of Whitehorse: Assessment x Mill Rate = Tax Levy 

Please note Property Taxes cannot be paid with a Credit Card.

• You split your annual tax levy over 12 months from January to December; 
• Taxes automatically come out of your bank account;   
• You won’t get charged the 10% penalty or monthly interest for late taxes;  
• If you are eligible for the Home Owners Grant (scroll down for HOG details) you can still apply at City Hall and receive the Home Owners Grant from Government of Yukon; 
• We will send notifications in January of each year to let you know what your estimated tax levy is and what your monthly payments are.
• Please use this form for Pre-authorized Payments for Property Taxes  

As per Bylaw 99-44 and the territorial Senior Property Tax Deferment Act, eligible seniors may enter into an agreement with the City to defer payment of their property taxes on eligible properties. The maximum seniors are eligible to defer is 75% of their property’s assessed value or 50% in the case of mobile homes. Eligible seniors must have sufficient property insurance.

Before you submit your application, please ensure that:

Home insurance needs to be updated annually for us to confirm you have a valid, active policy. If you are unsure of your property's legal description and/or roll number, then our team will fill that in for you. We can also get a copy of your title if you are unable to include it.
