Assessment Site Gives Price Information
Published: Friday, January 14, 2011
Wonder what your neighbour's house is worth? Want to know what the value of your home is?
Since midnight on January 4, homeowners can go to the BC Assessment web page (
www.bcassessment.bc.ca) and get the current assessed value of any home in the province, free.
The site also contains a map of B.C. that shows how property values have increased about 3.5 per cent in Chilliwack, 6.5 per cent in Abbotsford and 6.6 per cent in Langley City since the last assessment period.
BC Assessment database also contains non-confidential assessment information for all real property in British Columbia. The database records combine the most current ownershop information with the most recently published assessment information. Land Title Survey Plan images are also available through BC OnLine with more than 4000,000 survey plans available via the Internet.
Anyone who subscribes to the BC OnLine can access the BC Assessment database. The amount of detail required (i.e. which level of reports users choose) will determine the cost of the search. For example, you can find out the five most recent sales in a neighbourhood and actual sales values of a property for the past two years.
To obtain your registration package, call BC OnLine's province-wide toll free number: 1-800-663-6102, or visit the BC OnLine website at
