How Property Taxes Are Calculated

The amount of money that is to be raised through property taxes, and a portion of the tax rate, is set by Council each year. The tax rate, together with the assessed value of a property, determines the amount of property tax payable each year.

Tax rates are expressed in “dollars per thousand”. This means that at a rate of $10 per thousand, the property owner would pay $10 for every $1,000 of assessed value. The value of a property is determined by BC Assessment, independent of the municipality.
