Start with the authority responsible for the information.
Property websites are useful for orientation, but assessments, title records, taxes, transit and municipal rules should be checked at the source. The links below are selected because they lead to the organization responsible for that subject.
BC Assessment
Search property assessment information and learn how assessments are prepared for taxation purposes.
Visit BC Assessment →LTSA
The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia administers the province's land title and survey systems.
Visit LTSA →BC Property Transfer Tax
Check current provincial information about property transfer tax, programs and exemptions rather than relying on old thresholds.
BC government information →TransLink
Use official schedules, maps, service information and trip planning when evaluating a commute.
Visit TransLink →YVR
Official passenger, airport access and flight information for Vancouver International Airport.
Visit YVR →Municipal websites
For zoning, permits, property taxes, garbage collection and local planning, use the municipality responsible for the address.
Choose a city guide →Why dates matter
Tax programs, municipal plans, transit service and assessment information change. A page that was correct two years ago may not be current today. This site therefore avoids publishing detailed thresholds when a responsible authority provides a current source.
Build a property-specific source list
Once a property is under serious consideration, generic regional information becomes less useful than address-specific research. Identify the municipality, assessment record, applicable strata corporation if any, transportation routes and the professionals involved in the transaction. Save links to the responsible sources so later decisions are based on current information rather than screenshots or old search results.
