Why is my property assessment higher than my neighbours?
- Do you have the same type of home (two storey vs bungalow)?
- Do you have the same unit type in condominiums (i.e. townhouse, apartment, basement unit, end unit, penthouse unit, etc.)
- Are your homes the same square footage?
- Are the lot sizes the same?
- Is your home newer or have you had recent renovations?
- Do you have more builder upgrades or custom finishes compared to your neighbour?
- Do you both have a garage or basement development?
- Does your neighbour back directly onto a main traffic corridor or greenspace that you do not?
- Does your neighbour have views (mountain view, etc.)?
- Is there outside property features that your neighbour backs onto (greenspace, waterway, train, etc.)
Any or all of these factors can come into play when determining your home’s assessed value.
