Assessment Notices In the Mail
Prince George, B.C. – B.C. Assessment has sent out the property assessments for 2017, ( based on values as of July 1st of 2016) and a property on Chief Lake Road has the highest assessment in the Prince George region.
That property is calculated as having a value of $1.741 million dollars, but it is not the highest assessed property in the Northern Region.

Comments
In the snail mail . The assessments have been avalible online for awhile .
I noticed that on the 1st of January.
Our house went up by 9.5%, most of it based on the improvements rather than the property ….. even though no improvements were made.
…and I saw a 25% increase on our leased lake property. Now we know how this government is making up for all the spending recently!
OUCH!!
Did you look at comparable sales of lake property in the region? That would trigger an increase, not a directive from the government to assessment bc.
But, heck, its fun to make such statements isn’t it?
