St. John's distributing 2026 Property Assessments

The City of St. John’s has begun the distribution of Property Assessments for 2026. Residents should receive their assessments by post mail in the upcoming weeks.

Property Assessments take place on a two-year assessment cycle and 2026 is a reassessment year. The assessed value of everyone’s property is set as of a base date. This ensures that each property within the city is treated uniformly with all properties being assessed as of the same date.

Assessments are conducted by professional, skilled, and experienced assessors working for the City of John’s. Their work is governed by the Assessment Act using a mass-appraisal process.

There is a formal appeal process for property owners who do not agree with the assessed value of their property.
