Property Assessment Services

The Ministry's Property Assessment Services provides advice on property assessment policy, participates in inter-ministry and inter-agency processes related to property assessment and taxation, and reviews and develops legislative and regulatory changes and amendments related to property assessment.

This business area also:

• administers the annual Property Assessment Review Panel program;
• supports the management of the Property Assessment Appeal Board.

These review bodies ensure property assessments are accurate, reflect actual value, and criteria are applied consistently within a municipality or rural area. They work with BC Assessment, local taxation authorities and property owners to resolve disputes.
