HOW ARE PROPERTY TAXES CALCULATED? Property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property. Property taxes help fund roads, schools, police and fire protection, parks, and more. The amount you'll pay in annual property taxes depends on the assessed value of your property. #Parksville

#Parksville property increased in assessed market value by 2% for 2026. The average residential Parksville home had an assessed value of about $766,900 in 2026, this means about $150 increase in the municipal portion of property taxes. If your assessment rose more than 2%, expect a higher increase.

HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR PROPERTY TAXES Just 46% of taxes collected are kept for City of Parksville services with the remaining 54% collected on behalf of the Regional District of Nanaimo, Regional Hospital, RDN wastewater, library, and school taxes. #Parksville #PropertyTaxes #YourTaxesAtWork
