Your property assessment significantly influences the amount of property taxes you pay. You will receive your property assessment notice from BC Assessment each year in January. Your property is assessed to determine its:

• Value
• Classification
• Exemptions (if any apply)
  

In most cases, the value is an estimate of your property's value as of July 1 of the previous year. To determine the value of your property, an assessor compares your property to actual sales in the same area.

Some of the characteristics the assessor compares are:

• Location
• Size
• Land surface (topography)
• Shape
• Use
• Age and condition of buildings
