City tax penalties of 10 per cent will be applied to commercial, light and major industry, and not-for-profit properties if not paid by Sept. 30, 2020 the City of Prince Rupert said, in a statement on Sept. 17.

“This penalty date was adjusted by the Provincial Government for these (non-residential classes) of taxpayers this year in response to COVID-19, and was an extension of the usual penalty date that is otherwise applied in early July of each year,” the City said.
