Understanding Your Property Assessment
BC Assessment has made the updated property values available, enabling property owners across the province to see how their real estate assets have been valued for the upcoming year. The valuation date, July 1, 2025, means that the assessment reflects the market conditions as of that specific date.
Property Taxes and Assessment Values
BC Assessment emphasizes that an increased tax burden for property owners is generally linked to their property's value increasing more than the average for their specific community. While province-wide and regional data on community averages will be officially released on January 2, individuals can gain an early insight by examining the charts within their online individual property assessments. This allows property owners to gauge potential tax impacts relative to their neighbors and the broader community.
Accessing Your Assessment
Property owners are encouraged to visit the BC Assessment website to check their updated property values. The online portal provides access to individual assessments, offering a detailed look at the valuation and allowing for early review before the official release of community average data.
