LOL I guess I was trying to say is that last year I own a 505 sq ft apartment in Burnaby and the property tax is only around $1000 then move to Coq 805 sq ft and property tax double.

Unless Coq have a much higher property tax rate than Burnaby I fail to see how an increase of 300sq ft the property tax is double. On the notice it states property tax is increase by 2.56% over last year. So I am guessing Coq have a higher % increase than Burnaby to begin with?

And no I pay the property tax at all once, much easier to plan this way and I rather get it over with then to budget it monthly for the next year.

If you can't afford the tax then you should've stayed in your parents' basement, worked more, got a second job, ate less, get rid of your hobbies, and stopped hanging out with your friends.

I know an immigrant family with 3 kids and working minimum wage was able to pay their taxes for their home so clearly you're just entitled and lazy.

LOL clearly you have no logic sir. Did I say I can't afford it? Did I mention anything about not paying? Guess that's too hard for your little tiny brain to handle. All I want to know is why is the property rate in Coq seem so much higher than Burnaby. There is no mention of how much the tax rate is for each city and that's something should be made clear. As I mention in Burnaby I only paid about $1000 in property tax for a 505 sq ft apartment that's worth around 550k for the assessment. in Coq the property tax is around $2100 for a 805 sq ft apartment with the assessment of 580k. So how does an extra 300sq ft and a 30k assessment turns into almost double for property tax. Is each city property tax different? Should this made to the public? Because all i see was how much the increase was from last year and how much goes into different things, it didn't have an actual %. Is like with income tax, GST, PST, carbon tax, new home GST etc etc is all made public but why not property tax for each city?

And people complain about carbon tax daily yet they still drive and pay for it. Even people on RS complain about it guess everyone who ever complain about carbon tax should not drive coz according to your logic complaining = can't afford it.

Aren’t property taxes based on density to some extent? Which is why a condo in Burnaby it cheaper than Coquitlam?

Also why the same house in vancouver is a fraction of the property tax of Langley etc?

100%.

I'm simply repeating the same ridiculous advice that he's been incessantly hawking from his pedestal in this RE thread. I find it pretty funny that he failed my post lmao.

Yes, when we were looking 12 years ago we were looking at houses in Surrey and Langley. Ended up buying right on the border of Surrey/Langley on the Surrey side because Property taxes were 50% less and homes were around the same at the time. The amount of people Surrey is collecting taxes from trumps Langley by a lot.

I know Coshitlam upped property taxes all over the place including on the low rise buildings which drove the old property management companies out and in came a massive developer and bought them all up to be demolished with new developments replacing them.

Also, $2100 is nothing. Your budget must be stretched if that amount makes you uneasy.

Not too thrilled that the time of the year has come again, and that I'll be paying the property taxes for both mine as well as my parents' place. "Fortunately", it hasn't occurred to the wifey that we should be paying for the MIL's property taxes as well...

I just thought I'd mention though that I'm paying for property tax using my cash back credit card. A friend was rather surprised when I told him about this. At least I'll be getting a bit of money back...
