*Additional School Tax
Starting in 2019, the provincial government will apply an additional school tax for properties assessed at $3 million and over.
As announced in the province's 2018 budget, this additional school tax will be applied to all residential properties in the province valued at $3 million and above, including:
- detached homes
- stratified condominium or townhouse units
- most vacant land
The additional tax rate is:
- 0.2% on the residential portion assessed between $3 million and $4 million
- 0.4% on the residential portion assessed at over $4 million
For mixed-use properties, only the residential portion of the property’s assessed value above $3 million will be taxable.
BC Assessment determines if additional school tax applies. If you believe your property should be exempt from additional school tax, contact BC Assessment to discuss your concerns.
