Homeowners throughout the Okanagan will be getting their 2017 assessments in the mail this week and many will see increases in the double digits in their property values.
“The majority of residential home owners within the region can expect an increase in value ranging from 0% to 30%, compared to last year’s assessment,” Deputy Assessor Tracy Wall said. “The highest increases are in the Central Okanagan with the City of Kelowna being at the peak.”
In the Central Okanagan, increases of five to 20 per cent will be typical for single-family homes in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country, with strata residential increases of five to 30 per cent.
