January 13, 2025 – Over the next few days, property owners throughout Nova Scotia can
expect to receive their 2025 Property Assessment Notices.
Assessments reflect a market value as of January 1, 2024, based on market sales and
financial data, and the physical state of the property as of December 1, 2024, including
renovations and demolitions.
Assessments are determined by Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC), the
independent, municipally funded, not-for-profit assessment authority for Nova Scotia.
PVSC determines market value using mass appraisal, the process of valuing a group of
properties on a given date using common data, standardized methods, and statistical
testing.
Assessment appeals must be received by midnight on February 13, 2025.
Signed appeal forms can be submitted by email, mail, or fax.
PVSC representatives are available to discuss assessments and answer questions by
phone (1-800-380-7775) or email (inquiry@pvsc.ca). For more information, visit pvsc.ca.
