If a property owner wants to dispute B.C. Assessment’s estimate of their
property’s market value, exemption status, or classification, the first step is to contact their
local assessment office. When a property owner makes a complaint, B.C. Assessment will
review the complaining owner’s assessment, and determine whether it believes a change or
correction is required. If B.C. Assessment is in favour of a change, it will recommend this
change to a Property Assessment Review Panel on behalf of the owner. If B.C. Assessment
does not agree with a property owner’s dispute, it will inform the property owner of this. If
the property owner still disagrees with the assessment, the owner can request an independent
review before a Property Assessment Review Panel. This request must be delivered in
writing to B.C. Assessment before 12:00 a.m. on the January 31st following the property
owner’s receipt of the Assessment, failing which the owner will have to wait until the next
year to appeal the assessment.
