BC Assessment says single-family home property values on the rise in Peace region

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The typical assessed property value of a single-family home in the City of Fort St. John has risen by three per cent for 2025.

BC Assessment has released its 2025 property assessments for the North Central region. 

According to Deputy Assessor Teria Penner, most homeowners in the region can expect to see their assessment change “in the range of approximately minus-5 per cent to plus-10 per cent.”

“Arrival in the mail of 2025 Assessment Notices might be delayed due to ongoing Canada Post backlogs, but 2025 values are readily available at bcassessment.ca, using our online property search service,” Penner adds.

Other communities in the Peace region, including the City of Dawson Creek, District of Chetwynd, and Village of Pouce Coupe, also saw modest increases in their typical assessed value for single-family homes.

The District of Tumbler Ridge saw the most significant change, with a thirteen per cent increase. 

Meanwhile, the District of Hudson’s Hope was the only Peace region community to see its typical assessed property value decrease, by one per cent.

The typical assessed value of “strata residential properties,” like townhouses and condos, has gone down in some communities, including an 11 per cent decrease in Fort St. John and a one per cent decrease in Dawson Creek.
