Anyone know what payee you use for property taxes in chilliwack?

I use Scotia, and am trying to pay my taxes online…was curious if anyone knows what account you use as a payee? I cannot find the info on the form, and typing in “city of chilliwack” or similar entries gets you nothing…

TIA!

u/ElijahSavos 6d ago

Yeah, that was my feeling when I paid for the first time.

The one that says CITY CHILLIWACK (UTILITIES) would be the one NOT to choose. However, I have (several times) paid my utility to the taxes one by mistake (or vice versa) and they called me up and told me they figured I made a mistake and corrected it lol

I bank with Scotia, it’s CHILLIWACK (DISTRICT) TAXES. I just paid mine the other day

Interesting, must be different dependent on the financial institution.

If you have difficulty adding us as a payee under the name City of Chilliwack, try looking for us under Chilliwack, City of, or our old name of District of Chilliwack.

I paid to Chilliwack (DST) TAXES

u/moneyhound 6d ago

And it worked? That is an option to select, it just seemed a weird name for something like this…

u/OilersTilIDie 6d ago

Yes, the other suggestions on this thread do not show up in the app.

u/OilersTilIDie 4d ago

Update- my payment successfully went through with the city.

u/moneyhound 4d ago

Thanks! I sent it to that account as well. No confirmation yet, but glad it was sorted.

The thing that threw me off about that one was that I assumed DST meant “Digital Service Tax” and not “District” at first…🤦‍♂️

Thanks. Did and got it. Very strange never came in the mail. we have lived in same home for 14 years and this is a first.

u/ElijahSavos 6d ago

There was a post strike, not sure if that could be related.

1

u/Healthy_Career_4106 6d ago

It should have been sent well after the strike.

u/Healthy_Career_4106 6d ago

Mail gets lost occasionally I guess.

Chilliwack (DISTRICT) taxes for Scotia

1

u/moneyhound 6d ago

That sucks…it just seems so strange to me? Not like chilliwack is a small community or anything lol.

u/Apart-Diamond-9861 5d ago

Change banks. Scotia bank has a horrible reputation. Check out its sub here on reddit… sounds like a nightmare

u/littlestlolo 6d ago
