CHECK YOUR MAIL FOR YOUR 2024 PROPERTY ASSESSMENT.

It’s that time of year again! Property assessments have been sent out for 2024 and it’s important to check your mailbox for yours. This assessment determines the value of your property and could affect your property taxes for the year. Make sure to review it carefully and contact your local government if you have any questions or concerns. If you want to appeal your assessment, you have until January 31st to do so.

It’s also a good idea to keep a copy of your assessment for your records. Don’t forget to check your mailbox and stay informed about your property’s value.

For more information on how your property is assessed and the difference between market and assessed value we have a very informative video in our YouTube series packed with information. CLICK HERE to watch the video.

NEW ZONING RULES WILL MEAN MORE HOUSING OPTIONS!

Proposed New legislation in BC for Small-Scale multi unit housing.

As part of the Homes for People Action Plan this new legislation aims to create more housing options within existing neighbourhoods that are typically zoned only for condos and single-family homes. The plan is to allow zoning to build more multi family units such a townhomes, duplexes and row homes on existing single-family lots.

The aim is to also reduce the limitations and red tape that typically hold up housing projects due to rezoning. The number of homes permitted will depend on the lot size, less than 280 sq metres 3 units and over 280sq metres 4 units. Lots over 280sq metres near transit that has frequent stops could have up to 6 units.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE PERSONAL INSURANCE WHEN BUYING A STRATA PROPERTY

Why is it so important to have personal insurance when you buy a strata property?

When you purchase a strata property, the building itself would be covered by the strata insurance policy but what about those items that are not covered?

You will need to have your own insurance for

  • All of your personal items, furniture, electronics, clothing etc.
  • Additional living expenses โ€“ if there is a fire or flood for example and your home is not liveable for a time.
  • Betterments and improvements โ€“ this will provided coverage for any renovations you have done to the home such as updated flooring, countertops etc. Anything that was not originally put in the unit by the builder but is an upgrade.
  • Strata Deductibles โ€“ your strata insurance will have deductible amounts, such as water damage. You need to be insured for these deductibles that are payable, they can range from $5,000 to $100,000. For example, if you live in a condo and you have a water leak that damages a unit below, you will be responsible for repairs and you need to be insured for this.
  • Personal Liability โ€“ This will protect you in the event that someone against you for property damage or bodily injury.

When we receive strata documents there will be a Strata Insurance Summary attached that you would need to send to your insurance broker in order for them to obtain a quote for your personal insurance. Personal insurance is an additional cost but so important in order to protect yourself.
