Postage Strike Delays & Utility Bill Update

Due to the recent postage strike, there will be delays in getting cheques, CVRD invoices, and utility bills out. Thank you for your patience.

CVRD Reminding Residents to Pay Utility Bills by December 31

In consideration of the ongoing interruption of Canada Post services, the Comox Valley Regional District is reminding residents that utilities’ accounts for water service, garbage and recycling collection must be paid in full by noon on December 31, 2024 to avoid the transfer of unpaid balances onto property taxes.

Please contact the CVRD at 250-334-6000 or if the following situation applies:

  • Utility payment was sent through Canada Post
  • Unsure of account’s status
  • Recently purchased a home in the Electoral Areas and have not received an invoice
  • Want to sign up to receive invoices by email

Outstanding balances will be transferred to property tax accounts with the BC Ministry of Finance on January 2, 2025, and will be subject to interest and penalties set by the provincial government. 
 

If you have not signed up for electronic funds transfer or receive your invoices by mail you can call 250-334-6000 to arrange pickup.
