Property Taxes in Dawson Creek Compared to Other Cities
Property taxes are based on a home’s assessed value and the City’s tax rate. In larger communities, homes are often valued much higher, so even with lower rates, total taxes can be similar.
In Dawson Creek, lower average home values mean the rate can be higher, but total tax bills are comparable once assessments are considered.
Reach out and ask: Email tax_dept@dawsoncreek.ca with additional questions.
Property taxes are determined by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the property tax rate.
