BC Assessment Authority

The British Columbia Assessment Authority is a publicly owned Crown Corporation in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

BC Assessment was created in 1974, as a result of a provincial government all-party committee unanimous recommendation that an independent assessment agency be created.

This information is primarily used in the calculation of property tax payable to the provincial government or relevant municipality in British Columbia.

In 2009 (for the 2010 roll), assessment appeals remained low, compared to many other property-taxing provinces and states.

BC Assessment has approximately 650 full-time staff positions in 17 offices throughout the province.
