More than 17,000 property owners throughout the North Cariboo area
can expect to receive their 2013 assessment notices in the next few days.
“Most homes in the City of Quesnel have remained relatively stable in value compared to last year‟s assessment roll, while home owners in the District of Wells have experienced a small increase” said Darin Johnson, Deputy Assessor. “Most home owners in Quesnel will see a change in the -10% to +10% range. Homes in Wells, will typically see a change from 1% to 10%.”
Overall, Quesnel‟s Assessment Roll increased slightly from $1.132 billion last year to $1.136 billion this year, while the District of Wells saw an overall increase to the taxable roll base from $14.5 million last year to $14.8 million this year. A total of $4.5 million has been added to the Quesnel‟s Assessment Roll which includes subdivisions, rezoning and new construction.
“Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2012 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact our office as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” said Johnson.
“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by January 31, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” added Johnson.
The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed
annually by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and meet
between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.
The Cariboo assessment office is located at Suite 202 – 350 Barnard Street in Williams Lake. During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Property owners can contact BC Assessment toll-free at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-825-8322) or at www.bcassessment.ca
