Tax Rates
Tax Rates
Tax rates determine how much property tax you pay, based on the assessed value of your property. The 2020 tax rates (see Documents, right) apply to each $1,000 of assessed value of your BC Assessment property assessment.
Council sets the tax rates after it adopts the annual budget each year, because the budget sets out how much total tax revenue is needed.
