It's BC Assessment Time!
BC Assessments have been updated and are available to view. Please remember that your BC Assessment value is not the fair market value of your home and is used for the purposes of taxation only. Having said that, we are seeing increased assessment values and increased market values. If you are considering taking equity out of your home for a home renovation or consolidation, contact us and we will do a desk-top market valuation of your home and let you know how much equity you can access.
