Search for Properties

On the Search Criteria screen, select the type of report you want. Optionally, you can change the roll year and narrow your search by selecting an area and jurisdiction. You then complete one of the searches, and press the appropriate search button.

Note
Deleted folios are not available on the BC Assessment system. If you require information on a deleted folio, please contact your local BC Assesesment area office.

In the Available Reports section of the screen, you can select one of three report types.

Which report you choose determines the cost of the search and the level of detail in the resulting report. The default is "Assessment Roll Report" but you can change this by selecting one of the other reports. For details on the contents of each report, refer to:

•	Owner Location Report

•	Assessment Roll Report

•	Assessment Inventory Report.

Note
The report type is reset to the default "Assessment Roll Report" after every search.

In the Search Criteria section of the screen, you can fill in details about your search. The Roll Year, Area and Jurisdiction fields always appear. The default search screen lets you search by address or owner name. A secondary search screen lets you search by PID, roll number, or other less frequently used search methods.

Roll Year
The Roll Year field lets you search assessment information from the current or previous roll year. To view information from the current roll year, just leave the Roll Year field set to the default value. To view information from a previous roll year, select it from the list.

Area
Use the Area and Jurisdiction lookup lists to fill in a specific area and jurisdiction for your search. If you select all areas your search will cover all areas in the province. If you want to restrict your search to a specific area, select it from the lookup list. Each Area has a two-digit area code and a name.

Jurisdiction
If you want to further restrict your search to a specific jurisdiction within an area, select it from the lookup list. Each Jurisdiction has a three-digit jurisdiction code and a name. If you select all jurisdictions your search will cover all jurisdictions in the specified area.

The most common searches are Address Search and Name Search. These are the default searches that appear when you first enter the Search Criteria screen. The link at the bottom of the screen acts as a toggle between default and secondary search fields.

Click Search by Title #/Roll #/PID/Mfr. Home/Mfr. Park/Lands Branch for other (secondary) searches.

Click Search by Address or Name again to return to the default searches from the secondary searches.

You can click Return if you want to return to the previous screen.
