That the percentage addition to unpaid current taxes provided by Section 445 of the
"Municipal Act", R.S.B.C., 1979, Chapter 290 shall not be added on the second day of July as
therein provided, but the Collector shall:
(a)
As soon as is practicable on or after the third day of July in each year, add to the
unpaid taxes of the current year, in respect of each parcel of land and the
improvements thereon upon the real property tax roll, five per centum of the
amount unpaid as of the third day of July of that year ("the penalty").

improvements thereon upon the real property tax roll, five per centum of the
amount unpaid, exclusive of the percentage addition added on July third, as of the
third day of September of that year.
(c)
Where a penalty addition would otherwise be applied under Section (a) and the
property owner is eligible for and subsequently claims the current year's Home
Owner Grant and applies to the Collector for such grant before September 3rd, the
penalty under section (a) above shall not be applied to the portion of the taxes
outstanding which was equal to the current year's Home Owner Grant.
