Update Your Mailing Address

The District of Lake Country is unable to accept direct requests for mailing address changes.

To change the mailing address for your Property Tax and Utility accounts, you must issue the request with BC Assessment  and/or the Land Titles Office .  There are a number of notices and documents which property owners may receive, such as the annual property assessment, property tax, and speculation tax notices which may be delayed if the mailing address is not current.

BC Assessment will update your address and then forward the address change to the District. Note, when filling out their change of address form , Lake Country's Area is 19 and the Jurisdiction is 331.

Land Titles Office will also update your address and then forward the address change to BC Assessment and the District. Any ownership changes, such as transferring title or changing your name, must be done through their office.

The District of Lake Country receives regular updates from both BC Assessment and the Land Titles Office to ensure records are consistent across organizations. Please avoid the use of your ward (Oyama, Carrs Landing, Okanagan Centre, or Winfield) when entering your mailing address, instead simply use "Lake Country".
