Property Tax by Province

In Nova Scotia, the assessed value of a property is calculated as of January 1 each year (with the physical condition of the property as of December 1).

The assessment notices are typically mailed in January, and you have 31 days from the date on your notice to file an appeal.

Property tax bills are issued by each individual municipality, and billing schedules (including number of installments) vary.
