Property assessments
The Government of Yukon is responsible for providing current, accurate and fair assessments to Yukon taxing authorities.
The information we provide determines how much you pay for your property
How we determine assessed value
Assessors consider a wide variety of factors in determining assessed value, including:
- land; and
- improvements.
Land
We use the fair market value of land to determine the assessed land value of a property.
Land information includes:
- recent sales;
- size;
- location; and
- permitted land use.
Improvements
Improvements are buildings and permanent structures on the land. We determine values based on the current costs of replacing your building with a similar structure. We consider a building's age, condition and depreciation when determining its value.
Building information can include:
- size;
- features;
- age;
- materials used;
- type of construction;
- condition of construction;
- quality of construction;
- finished area; and
- interior features such as flooding, plumbing and heating.
Building information does not include:
- furniture;
- kitchen appliances;
- decks;
- residential fences;
- sidewalks;
- landscaping;
- driveways; or
- residential greenhouses.
Assessment notices
We mail assessment notices to all property owners on or before December 15 each year.

Reassessments
A reassessment is a review of:
- a property's characteristics; and
- the value of buildings and land.
We reassess land and buildings every 2 years. We reassess municipalities and rural properties in alternate years. In 2024, we reassessed rural properties. In 2025, we reassessed properties in municipalities.
Reassessments help:
- keep land and improvement values current and accurate for tax purposes;
- avoid large increases or changes in assessed value;
- provide greater stability to the property owner, municipalities and the Government of Yukon.
