"🏠 Your 2026 BC Assessment just arrived — and Surrey homeowners are seeing values drop 6 to 7 percent. But before you celebrate lower property taxes, here is the truth nobody is talking about.
A lower BC Assessment does NOT automatically mean a lower tax bill. The City of Surrey can raise its tax rate to collect the same amount of money — and with a 2.8% tax hike already proposed for 2026, that is exactly what is happening.
Whether you own a detached home or a condo in Surrey, Langley, or anywhere in the Lower Mainland — understanding your BC Assessment is the first step to protecting your money.
