Your Property’s Assessed Value

Your property is assessed at the amount indicated in this field. This amount acts as a basis for calculations of the property taxes.

Provincial legislation requires that the assessment reflect the market value of your property as of July 1st of the previous year.

All properties are assessed using similar factors that real estate agents and appraisers use when pricing a home for sale.

If your property was only partially completed as of December 31, your assessment reflects the value of the lot plus the value of the building, based on the percent complete.

If the building is completed during the current year, a supplementary assessment and tax notice will be sent to the assessed person reflecting the increase in assessment from new construction.
