property tax assessments
Property value assessments for 2017 skyrocketed 35.2 per cent in Richmond, with detached homes in City Centre/Brighouse rising more (71 per cent) than in any other neighbourhood in B.C. This map charts assessment increases by percentage for each neighbourhood. Red circles indicate detached home assessments, while blue circles denote condo assessments.

Dear Editor,

The City of Richmond should follow Vancouver’s example, immediately stop accepting cash for property taxes.

What’s wrong with a good old cheque drawn on a Canadian bank? Be proactive and stop money laundering.

If the name on the cheque does not represent the owner of the property, do not accept payment and notify FINTRAC.
