Assessments

Assessment Notices

The Local Government Act empowers the GEID Board of Trustees to establish a basis for classifying and assessing properties in order to levy Irrigation Taxes. The Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District issues assessment notices to all property owners each year.  These assessments are based on the status and ownership of the property as of September 1st each year.

If the property's owner's records do not agree with the assessment notice as of September 1st, the owner may call the District Office at 250-763-6506 to discuss and resolve the discrepancy.  

If the discrepancy cannot be resolved, a formal appeal should be filed and any unresolved notices can be addressed at a Court of Revision.  Appeals regarding ownership, grade of property and size of property only may be submitted.

The Court of Revision is held annually, usually on a specific date during the third week of September.
