January 02, 2020
估值的变化一定代表地税也会相应变化吗？
VANCOUVER — In the next few days, owners of more than 1,040,000 properties throughout the Lower Mainland can expect to receive their 2020 assessment notices which reflect market value as of July 1, 2019.
温哥华 - 在接下来的几天，104万屋主将会收到政府寄出的最新的2020评估报告，报告的数据反映的是截至2019年7月1日的市场价值。
"The Lower Mainland residential real estate market continues to see signs of moderation," says BC Assessment Deputy Assessor Brian Smith. "Depending on your location and property type, you will experience a different level of change on your 2020 Assessment Notice. Homes located in Whistler and Pemberton can expect a minimal increase in their assessments whereas the rest of the region will likely experience a reduced assessment value."
地陆平原住宅类地产市场继续持平稳态势。根据位置和物业类型的不同，屋主会看到或涨或跌的评估值。惠斯勒还有彭伯顿地区会有轻微涨幅，而其他城市和地区都会有不同程度的下跌。

The website also provides self-service access to a free, online property assessment search service that allows anyone to search, check and compare 2020 property assessments for anywhere in the province. Property owners can unlock additional property search features by registering for a free BC Assessment custom account to check a property's 10-year value history, store/access favourites, create comparisons, monitor neighbourhood sales, and use our interactive map. New for 2020, the website is fully mobile-friendly.

"Property owners can find a lot of valuable information on our website including answers to many assessment-related questions, but those who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2019 or see incorrect information on their notice, should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January," says Deputy Assessor Brian Smith.
"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 31st, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel," adds Smith.
如果屋主对于最新的估值有疑问，在咨询过估价师后，屋主仍然可以在2020年1月31日前通过提交“投诉信”进行上诉，屋主的诉求会被独立调查小组重新审核。
The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and typically meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.
"It is important to understand that changes in property assessments do not automatically translate into a corresponding change in property taxes," explains Smith. "As noted on your Assessment Notice, how your assessment changes relative to the average change in your community is what may affect your property taxes."
需要重点说明的是，物业估值的改变不会直接影响到地税额度的调整，而是要把这个物业与所在社区整体的一个平均值相比较，才会判断出新一年的地税额度将如何变化。
