Show notes

Your property taxes don't always go up when your assessed value goes up. We get insight and in depth break down from our special guest, New West City Councilor, Patrick Johnstone.

Get even more detail from Pat's blog: patrickjohnstone.ca

Should you appeal your assessment? You want to look to see if your increase was really far out of line with the average for your area. You can start with a chat with an appraiser at the Assessment office (info.bcassessment.ca/contact-us/Greater-Vancouver-Region).
