Your property assessment is based on the valuation of your property as of July 1 of the previous year. Assessments are made by BC Assessment, an independent provincial crown corporation that determines the values of all properties in British Columbia. Owners are mailed their Property Assessment Notice by December 31 of each year.

Impact of Assessed Property Values

The amount of municipal tax you pay is dependent on your property type and your property’s assessed value, as determined by BC Assessment. If your property’s assessed value varies from the average in its property class, your property taxes will either be higher or lower than the City’s average property tax amount.

From 2024 to 2025, the assessed value for the average residential property in the City increased by approximately 0.1%.

To find out the Land and Improvement Assessments, Legal Description, and Tax information of a property in the City of North Vancouver, please visit the City's online Property Assessment Information.

Property taxes are calculated by dividing the assessment value for your property by 1,000 and multiplying that figure by the tax rate established for your property class.

There are a number of factors that affect property taxes on a particular property:

• Changes in assessed value
• Changes in the City's property tax rate
• Changes in other taxing agencies' tax rate

Tax Collection for Other Agencies

The City is required by the Province to collect taxes on behalf of other taxing agencies, and in turn gives these taxes directly to them. These agencies include the Municipal Finance Authority, BC Assessment, Metro Vancouver, Translink, and the Province of BC (school taxes).

The City has no control over the amounts of these taxes, as the agencies determine their own rates based on their own budgetary requirements. In 2025, approximately 42% of taxes collected are on behalf of other agencies.
