Use the Property Tax Estimator below to determine how much your property's assessed value will affect your property taxes for the year. This tool will allow you to estimate your property taxes for 2024. This tool is based on the 2024 Municipal Tax rate increase of 4.5%, and the approved rate increase for all other authorities.
Your assessed value is multiplied by the tax rate for your assessment class and divided by 1,000. The tax rate (or mill rate) is comprised of the rates levied by each taxing authority.
Property owners receive their assessment notices from BC Assessment (BCA) each January. The overall average residential value increase (used in setting the tax rate) is 2.62% for 2024.
While the value of your property may have increased, that does not necessarily mean you will pay more in property taxes. The most important factor in determining how much you will pay in property taxes is how the assessed value has changed compared to similar properties in Burnaby.
