Check my assessment — free

We check whether you're paying more property tax than your neighbours for the same kind of home, and we tell you the truth either way. If you are, we ask the assessor to take another look and handle the complaint or appeal if it's needed. Our share-of-savings fee applies only if your assessment goes down.

The assessment check is free and you don't need to create an account to see your result. What it costs if you go ahead

You may be fairly assessed. If you are, we'll tell you.

The homes we compared you with, with their public values.
A straight answer. You likely have a case, you look fairly assessed, or send us your notice and a person will check it.
The fee, before any ask. $79 upfront plus a share of the saving, only if your assessment goes down. See exactly how it's calculated.

What happens if I'm fairly assessed?

Nothing, unless you want it to. We'll offer to remind you next January and let you share a check with a neighbour. We won't try to sell you anything.

Could appealing make my assessment go up?

It's possible in some situations. If a review could plausibly raise your assessment, we tell you and don't recommend filing.

Are you part of the government or the assessment office?

No. Canada Tax Appeal is a private company. We are not a government body or an assessment authority and are not affiliated with any municipality, MPAC or BC Assessment.
