BC Assessment is an independent Crown corporation that was created in 1974 in response to inequities in the property taxation system around BC. Prior to that there were 140 separate assessment organizations in the province, each with varying mandates and methodologies. The NDP government under Dave Barrett responded to the growing alarm over gross valuation inequities by striking the all party Special Legislative Committee that created BC Assessment. To this very day, Mr. Barrett is proud of its creation. Rightfully so.
