I just thought I'd mention though that I'm paying for property tax using my cash back credit card. A friend was rather surprised when I told him about this. At least I'll be getting a bit of money back... | Where are you living that you can pay by credit card? My Vancouver house tax is over $5500 and it says right on the notice that they do not accept credit cards.

I'm not sure why anyone will say anything about YVR's property tax.
It's potatoes comparing to the US and even many parts of Canada.
My US property tax this year? $20875.68... and that's USD!  And no, I did not miss where the "." suppose to be

The trick to pay by credit card and get rebates is to use one where their financial service supports property tax and other bill payments. A friend uses Paytm, and there are referral codes that give you extra points when you sign up using referral links. (PM me if you want a code.) I am not too comfortable using a financial service outside of Canada / US since Paytm is based in India, so I am only using my credit card company's online banking / payment service to pay for property tax. 1% rebate is all I get, but I'll take that over no rebate at all.

If you pay monthly, it's definitely the better deal.
0% financing is awesome!
Though, I can understand those who just want to pay it off. Unless you can make that money work for you, I can see why people just pay it off right away.
My cheap ass will take the monthly payments like a champ.. haha

Aren't there perks of owning property in the states, ie. you can write off your mortgage interest and other things?

You guys got a grant? I have never got a grant since I purchased my house in Burnaby since 2010. Not too sure why your guys are complaining.

A few years ago, my parents' old shag only received a <$50 grant. Now that was ridiculous.

i will also add in another nugget.
property tax will always increase at least by 3% - translink gets 3% of your property taxes.

Time to sell the old shack and buy a junky motorhome and move down to Strathcona Park!
There's a whole slew of campers parked down there now and the garbage around some of them is piling up.
