Understanding your tax notice |
|
CRD does not issue property tax notice or assessments.
The province collects taxes for provincial services (e.g. school and policing) and on behalf of other organizations to raise funds for services. Often services have unique boundaries that determine who will be taxed to pay for them. Some of the organizations the province collects on behalf of are:
Each of these organizations lets the province know how much money they need to provide services for the year. The Surveyor of Taxes then determines the tax rates needed to raise the funds to pay for each service. |
Facts about funding |
|
The Cariboo Regional District has always balanced its budget. Under the Local Government Act, the regional district is not permitted to have an annual deficit. The administration of the Regional District does not operate like the Federal or Provincial Governments, where there is a general revenue to redistribute to others. The annual budgets for each service and function have firewalls between them. By legislation, no money may be transferred from one function budget to another. |
Who does the property assessments? |
|
The BC Assessment Authority is mandated to oversee all property assessments in the province. The Cariboo Regional District determines a budget required to operate each service. Based on the assessment information, the regional district establishes an annual tax requisition to collect required taxation. For a collection fee of 5.25%, the Province collects the property taxes and remits a portion to the CRD. Visit BC Assessment to look up property assessments.
