Property tax and sale tracking

I’ve posted about Propertize.ca a few times.  This is a great utility that helps you search the provincial assessment database for assessment and sales information.

It seems another computer savvy person with an interest in NB property taxes has endeavoured to make this assessment and sales information easier to search.  The site Homes, Ahoy! shows this data on maps which include “macro” data about sections of a real estate market.

Both sites are useful tools to see what sort of property values occur in a given area.  I will caution readers though that when it comes to property tax season, that just because your neighbours assessment is unreasonably lower than your assessment, doesn’t mean you have grounds to appeal. If you think your assessment is too low, your best bet is to look at recent sale prices (which both sites allow you to view) for homes similar to your own.
