Change of Mailing Address
The City of Vancouver issues tax notices and utility bills using the mailing address provided by BC Assessment. Address updates must be made via the BC Assessment website (see information further below). *Only a property owner may change the mailing address. Tenant requests to change the mailing address for either the tax notice or utility bill will not be processed either by the City of Vancouver or BC Assessment.
Changes of address provided to other City departments do not result in changes for property tax notices, utility bills or BC Assessments.
- *The only exception is for strata complexes of three or more units, in which case owners or managers should submit utility bill address or management company changes in writing to:
- City of Vancouver
- PO Box 7747 Stn Terminal
- Vancouver BC V6B 8R1
Important: Depending on the Statement Date, submitted changes may not be reflected on your next notice.
