The provincial government collects taxation information from municipalities, and provides this information online. They have recently posted this information for 2019 online. To help visualize this information, and provide some context, I’ve created some tables and charts.
The first chart looks at the per capita property tax in 2019. I used the information from the province’s Schedule 703, and combined that with 2018 population estimates. I’ve highlight Langley City for convenience.

One of the things that stands out is that Surrey has a significantly lower per capita property tax. One of the things to consider is household size. For example, Surrey has an average household size of 3 while Langley City has an average household size of 2.1.
