Property Tax by Province

Properties in British Columbia are assessed annually by the BC Assessment Authority (BCAA), with each assessment reflecting market value as of July 1 of the preceding year.

In British Columbia, assessment notices are mailed in January with a 30-day review period, and a pre-roll consultation process is available for eligible requests submitted by mid-August.

The first level of appeal must be filed by January 31 and is reviewed by the Property Assessment Review Panel (PARP), with any subsequent appeal to the province-wide Appeal Board due by April 30.

Property owners who hold residential property in a taxable area as of December 31 will receive a declaration notice by mid-February and must submit their declaration by March 31. Failure to declare by the deadline may result in a tax assessment and potential liability. Eligibility, exemptions, and affected municipalities are defined by legislation.
In addition to property taxes based on assessed values, several provincial and municipal taxes may apply, including the City of Vancouverʼs empty homes tax, additional school taxes introduced in 2019, higher property transfer tax rates implemented in 2018, and the foreign buyers tax on qualifying residential acquisitions. Exemptions may apply, and professional guidance can help determine exposure and eligibility.
