Published by BC Assessment Authority
About this dataset
In 1974, the Government of British Columbia created BC Assessment (BCA) as a Crown Corporation, funded primarily through a property tax levy, with the legislated mandate to provide “assessments that are uniform in the whole of the province” in accordance with the Assessment Act. Since its inception, BCA has provided uniform, fair and independent property assessments to the people of British Columbia. The summaries described in this record are derived from the Residential Inventory, Commercial Inventory, and Data Advice records, rolled up to the BC Assessment Use Code Category, census division, census subdivision, and economic region levels. Data dictionaries for the three products are provided as resources to this record. A compressed zip file containing the three products can be downloaded using this link.
