Current rates, instant calculator, and everything you need to understand your property tax bill
Vancouver's 2025 residential property tax rate is approximately 0.26877% of assessed value (BC Assessment). This is one of the lowest rates in Canada — but sky-high assessments mean large bills.
Vancouver consistently ranks among the world's most expensive real estate markets. While its property tax rate is very low compared to other major Canadian cities, the sky-high assessed values mean homeowners can still face significant annual bills.
The City of Vancouver uses assessments from BC Assessment, a provincial Crown corporation that values properties at their July 1 prior-year market value. The residential tax rate for 2025 is approximately 0.26877%.
