You can not sell you land without the house or vice versa.
Couldn't you sell the property, but also sign a 99-year lease-back?

There goes my retirement plan to sell the land out from underneath my condo.

I sent you a direct message with some questions. On the surface it sounds like they have made an error.

Well, talk about bad timing. I filed a "complaint" because they valued my house at $455,000. They sent me a letter saying that they had received it and it would be going to the review panel.
As this was going on, the house across the street, which is almost identical to mine, went on the market for $469,900......and sold! Really fast. Don't know what they got for it as the MLS listing is gone.
Oh well. Doesn't really matter I guess. Taxes are a right off. And, unlike Kramer, I know what a write off is.

If anyone wants some help with their assessment I am once again happy to help, I have many years experience sitting on property assessment review panels.

I'm still wondering why the identical suites above and below me are valued at several thousand dollars less than mine.

Bernard, maybe you could answer me a quick question. How is the information gathered by the municipality when there is an upgrade of a home? I just recently added an addition to my house and finished my basement, adding a couple more bedrooms, office and a bathroom.

My land went up 8% and my house by 21%.
I thought houses were depreciating assets?

BC Assessment has a panel of staffers that just read boards like this, then when they see a post such as yours, scan back through your previous posts to determine who you are and where you live. Then they just tack on 20%.

That makes sense, my kitchen wasn't cheap
Bernard, your theory holds true about price rise as the dloors rise, except for my "stack" where mine in the middle is the higher of the three. Oh well, doesn't bother me much.
But why would the prices be lower for first floor suites than middle floor?

We are seriously considering appealing because both of our neighbours (on either side of us, on a cul de sac) are about $150-200 000 less than ours. While ours was built in 2008, theirs in late 1990s, they both have been gutted and are on-par with our finishings, size, etc.
Do we have a case or ...? Will give you any and all info I can.
