Thetis Island 2026 Assessments

After my notice went in the e-spokes last week, I heard from about 7 other property owners whose property assessments increased anywhere from 12-24%.

In our group discussion we identified discrepancies in how “comparables” were applied to justify these increases. In some cases, the land value went up but the building increased. Why?
We are going to come up with a template form letter that can be used by each individual property owner (with their own information) that wants to write to their local MLA or other official to complain.

I would encourage everyone who received an increase to their property assessment for 2026 to call the assessment BC office to query WHY the increase, and (most importantly) contest the increase by the Feb. 2 deadline by filling out the form on BC assessment website.
