- 19 municipalities with a 2026 data point below

- No data is not zero — gaps are labelled, never zero-filled
Scope
British Columbia municipalities do not all publish the same scope. One municipality may report a general property tax increase, another may report only the municipal portion, and another may report an average household or average residential figure.
How to read
Because of that, this page is a table with a “what it measures” column. It is NOT a single ranked bar chart mixing different scopes. Read the scope in each row before comparing two figures.
The bars below are in the same group order as the tables, not ranked, and each bar is labelled with its scope in the table.

No data — not zero
A gap in this list means no verified 2026 percentage was found from an official source in this round. It does not mean the increase was zero, and no gap has been filled with zero.
- Metro Vancouver: no 2026 percentage found from an official source for New Westminster, Anmore, Belcarra, Bowen Island, or Lions Bay.
- West Vancouver: the 2026 figure is third-party-reported only and is NOT counted as verified, so no West Vancouver percentage is published here as verified.
- Capital Region municipalities other than Victoria and Saanich were not verified in this round.
- Lake Country and Peachland were not verified in this round.
Notes to read before using these figures
- BC Assessment values are set on July 1 market conditions. A change in an assessed value is not the same as a municipal increase.
- Taxes collected for other bodies — including provincial school tax, TransLink, Metro Vancouver, BC Assessment, and the Municipal Finance Authority — are not controlled by municipal councils and are excluded from the municipal figures above unless a row says otherwise.
- The Home Owner Grant and Property Tax Deferment are provincial programs, not municipal tax cuts.
