Executive Summary

Every year, all property owners in BC have to pay property taxes—the single greatest operating expense. The property tax is determined based on property assessment and property tax rate (mill rates). This project will be a value-add to the business in projecting commercial real estate property taxes, and providing tax and assessment insights for different neighborhoods/and or property types. This project will quantify the relationship between property tax and assessment value over the past few years of data, and construct a predictive model to estimate property taxes for a given property for the upcoming year.

Project objectives

  • To predict the property tax for a given property for the upcoming year. This may lead to an automated Model/Report to show insights on assessment values and trend for a given area and/or property type.
  • Hypotheses/Question: What is the relationship between property tax and assessment value in the past few years? For example, if the assessment has increased/decreased (for an area/municipality), will the property tax increase/decrease as well? If so, by how much?

  • data is for files containing subsets of the data used for training or testing models.
  • doc includes the written portions of the project: main reports, proposals, poster, individual reports, and project outline tex/pdfs/aux files.
