City introduction
Maple Ridge is a city in the northeastern corner of Metro Vancouver, set between the Fraser River to the south and the Golden Ears Mountains and Coast Mountains to the north, on the traditional and ancestral territories of the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations. Founded and incorporated in 1874, it is one of British Columbia's first municipalities, with agricultural and small-town roots.
Today the city covers more than 260 square kilometres and is made up of ten neighbourhoods. It is connected to the rest of the region by Highway 7 (the Lougheed Highway) and the West Coast Express commuter rail service, while its northern edge meets the wilderness of Golden Ears Provincial Park.

Housing property-tax historical trend
The trend uses one measure only: the property tax increase for general purposes. Each row is the figure for that year on that one measure. A year with no verified figure on that measure is shown as No data.

Separate note — tax rates, not the trend
This note is separate from the trend above and is not part of it. A residential tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value can move even when the levy increase is small, because the assessment base changes. Rate figures are therefore not used as the trend and are not mixed into the increase chart.
2026 residential rates, per $1,000 of taxable value, from the City of Maple Ridge's official 2026 property tax rate summary:
| Component | Rate per $1,000 |

| School | 1.21480 |
| TransLink | 0.35860 |
| Metro Vancouver | 0.05978 |
| BC Assessment | 0.03810 |
| Municipal Finance Authority | 0.00020 |
| **Total mill rate** | **4.53578** |
Municipal portion: 2.86430. Total (all authorities): 4.53578.

Method
This trend uses one metric only, every year: the property tax increase for general purposes.
Where a city publishes an increase as components, the components are recorded in the scope notes; a total is used only where the city itself publishes it.
Canada inflation is Statistics Canada, Table 18-10-0005-01, CPI annual average. Canadian dollar Real CEER is Bank of Canada, Valet series CEER_BROADM, total index (1999=100); each value is the annual average of the 12 monthly total Real CEER values (a computed annual average, not a figure the Bank publishes directly as an annual value).
How to read this page
Bars are the Maple Ridge property tax increase, general purpose. Lines are Canada inflation and Canadian dollar Real CEER.
The left axis is a percentage axis shared by the bars and the inflation line. The right axis is a separate index axis for Canadian dollar Real CEER only. CEER is an index and is not a percentage.
A year shown as “No data” has no bar for property tax and no line point for that series, and a missing year breaks a line.
Tax rates per $1,000 are separate from the trend and are not charted.
