Property Tax Reviews, Appeals and Advocacy

One of the largest annual costs for any property owner is the payment of property taxes. Sidco Property Consulting specializes in the area of property assessment reviews and advocacy. We work to ensure that your assessment is correct and as a result you are not paying more property tax than you need to.

In British Columbia, the assessment notices will be mailed out during the first week of January with an appeal deadline of January 31. We will review your assessment and determine that you pay only your fair share of property taxes. Property assessments sent by BC Assessment should be reviewed every year, both for correctness and for an equitable treatment of taxes

We would be pleased to hear from you with any inquires you may have regarding your property tax burden, upcoming hearings or recently received Assessment Notices.
