BC Assessment Property Values Scraper

🏠 What is BC Assessment Property Values Scraper?

BC Assessment Property Values Scraper gives the official BC Assessment value of any property in British Columbia — Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Surrey and every other town: assessed value of the year and the year before, 10 years of values, land and building values, year built, rooms, floor area, PID, roll number, legal description, sales of the last 3 years and 9 comparable sales. For a Realtor.ca listing, it also gives the asking price divided by the official value.

Paste addresses (202-1000 Beach Ave, Vancouver), PIDs, roll numbers, plan + lot, Realtor.ca listing URLs or MLS® numbers — or search Realtor.ca by city and filters and get the official value of every listing — click Start, and download the results in JSON, CSV or Excel. No login, nothing to set up.

📋 What data can you extract from BC Assessment?

One item per property, 115 fields:

Category	What you get
💰 Official value	assessed value of the year and the year before, the change, land value and building value — 938,000 CAD, 2026 assessment as of July 1, 2025
📈 10-year history	the value of each of the last 10 years, with the change of the property and of its municipality
🏠 Property	description (Strata Apartment -Hi-Rise), year built, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, land size, storeys, units
🧾 Identifiers	PID, roll number, area and jurisdiction, legal description, plan and lot, BC Assessment page and photo
🤝 Sales	sales of the last 3 years (date and price) and 9 comparable sold properties with their price, date and values
🏘️ Neighbours	the 9 nearest properties with their total, land and building values
🏷️ Realtor.ca listing	asking price, asking price ÷ assessed value, description, photos, days on market; with Listing details on: yearly property tax, strata fee, features, video, open houses, the full listing page
📞 Agents	listing agents with their phone, website and brokerage
🏛️ City of Vancouver (option)	yearly property tax levied and zoning district

Every field, with an example, is listed in the Output section below.

✅ Why use BC Assessment Property Values Scraper?

• 🎯 Any entry: a free-text address, a PID, a roll number, a plan and lot, a Realtor.ca listing URL, an MLS® number, or a whole Realtor.ca search.
• 🏢 The right unit: for a condo, the value of the unit itself, never the building's by mistake — when the roll only has the whole building or lot, the row says so (matchType wholeBuilding) and gives no asking ÷ value ratio.
• 📉 Find under-priced listings: filter the Realtor.ca listings of a city on asking price ÷ assessed value (0.95 = at least 5 % under the assessment).
• 📚 10 years of values, land / building, 9 comparable sales in the same row.
• 🗂️ Several searches in one run: keywords × cities, with a cap per search; big cities are covered in full, never cut at the 600 listings Realtor.ca shows.
• 🔔 Monitoring built in: tick Only new results and schedule the Actor: new listings only, or a property again once its new yearly assessment is out.
• 🔌 API, scheduling, integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets…) and JSON/CSV/Excel export via the Apify platform.

🚀 How to scrape BC Assessment

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open BC Assessment Property Values Scraper and paste Addresses (one per line, the unit first for a condo: 202-1000 Beach Ave, Vancouver), or PIDs, roll numbers, plans, MLS® numbers.
3. Or paste Realtor.ca listing URLs or a Realtor.ca map search into Realtor.ca or BC Assessment URLs, or type a Location to get the listings of a city with their official value.
4. Set Max results (100 by default, 0 = no limit), then click Start.
5. Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel or via API. Entries not found in the roll are listed, with the reason, in the NOT_FOUND record of the run's key-value store.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape BC Assessment?

This Actor uses pay per event pricing. Prices without a subscription (Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers pay a little less — see the Pricing tab):

Event	Price
Property delivered (official value, history, roll record)	$5.00 per 1,000
Land / building split and neighbours (Land / building split, off by default)	$0.50 per 1,000
Comparable sales (Comparable sales, off by default)	$0.50 per 1,000
Property that comes from a Realtor.ca listing	$0.45 per 1,000
Realtor.ca listing page (Listing details, off by default)	$0.75 per 1,000
City of Vancouver tax and zoning (option)	$0.065 per 1,000
Listing or property dropped by your filters	$0.15 per 1,000
Run start	$0.001 per run

Examples with the default options: 1,000 addresses or PIDs ≈ $5.00; 1,000 Realtor.ca listings of a city with their official value ≈ $5.45. An entry the roll has no property for is never charged, and filtering never costs more than taking everything. Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included in the price.

Speed, measured on the Apify platform: about 37 properties a minute for Realtor.ca listings with their listing page and land / building values, comparable sales off (1,000 listings of Vancouver in 27 minutes); 200 PIDs without options in under 2 minutes, with land / building values and comparable sales in under 6 minutes. Each option adds time.

💡 Tips

How to get more results

Leave maxItems at 0 and give a larger radiusKm: a search that counts more than the 600 listings Realtor.ca shows is split into smaller map squares until every listing is read. Several cities at once: fill locations.

The newest (or cheapest) listings of a big area

The sort is exact up to 600 listings per search. A bigger search is split into map squares, and a maxItems (or maxItemsPerQuery) between 600 and the search's count is filled square by square, as the squares come back: not with the N newest or cheapest of the whole area (a Vancouver search capped at 1,000: 285 of them listed more than 8 weeks before the run, while whole squares of the map gave none). For the newest listings of a big area, set Listed in the last N days (listedWithinDays) and leave maxItems at 0: every listing of those days comes. For the cheapest, the same with Max asking price (CAD) (maxPrice).

How to reduce costs

The levers are maxItems, maxItemsPerQuery, the options (Comparable sales, Land / building split and Listing details are off by default: turn on only what you need), the filters (a dropped property costs only the filter fee) and onlyNew for recurring runs.

Several searches in one run

Fill searchQueries and / or locations: the Actor runs one Realtor.ca search per keyword × city (up to 500 per run). A property found by several searches is saved — and charged — once. Set maxItemsPerQuery to give every search its own cap. The lookups (addresses, PIDs, rolls, plans, URLs, MLS® numbers) run in the same run.

Monitoring: only the new results

Tick Only new results (onlyNew) and schedule the Actor. The first run returns everything; each later run skips what was already delivered: a listing already seen, or a property already delivered for the same assessment year — so a watched list of addresses comes back once a year, when BC Assessment publishes the new values. The memory lives in a named key-value store of your account (bcassessment-property-scraper-seen, up to 150,000 results per key) and is only updated with rows that really reached the dataset. Give each schedule its own stateKey, and tick resetState once to start over. With the default sort, a search sorted by Newest first stops after 200 listings in a row you already have (or after your Max results / per-search cap, if lower); another sort reads the whole search each time, and only the new results are saved.

Filter by date

postedAfter and postedBefore read the date a listing was added to Realtor.ca (listedAt): a date (2026-09-01, the whole day included, British Columbia time) or a period before now (7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month). The lookups (address, PID, roll, plan) are not affected. soldAfter and soldBefore read BC Assessment's sales of the last 3 full years. Filtered-out properties are not saved and do not count in maxItems.

🔌 Integrations and API

Call the Actor via the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python clients, or connect it with integrations and webhooks (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable…). The dataset can be fetched as JSON or CSV from any tool.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can find and run this Actor through the Apify MCP server, billed to their Apify account like any run. It returns one item per property of British Columbia with its official BC Assessment value. Actor id: nice_dev/bcassessment-property-scraper; MCP server with this Actor only: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nice_dev/bcassessment-property-scraper.

Smallest input, for a cheap first call:

{
    "addresses": ["202-1000 Beach Ave, Vancouver"],
    "maxItems": 1
}

Key output fields: address, assessedValue, previousAssessedValue, landValue, improvementValue, valueHistory, pid, askingToAssessedRatio.

Cost: $5.00 per 1,000 properties plus $0.001 per run start; the options cost extra, see the pricing section above. Cap each call with maxItems and, through the API, with the run option maxTotalChargeUsd.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape BC Assessment?

The Actor only reads what BC Assessment and Realtor.ca show publicly to any anonymous visitor. It logs in to nothing and solves no captcha. BC Assessment shows no owner name, and the Actor returns none. Listings can contain personal data (a listing agent's name and phone), which is protected by privacy law (PIPEDA in Canada, GDPR in Europe): do not store it without a legitimate reason. British Columbia's Assessment Act forbids using assessment information to obtain names, addresses or phone numbers for solicitation. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with BC Assessment's and Realtor.ca's Terms of Use and applicable law. This Actor is not affiliated with BC Assessment, Realtor.ca or the Canadian Real Estate Association.

Does it need a login or a proxy?

No login. The proxy is included in the price: leave the default setting (the residential proxy is not available). A request a site turns away is retried at once on a new proxy session, up to 10 times on top of the retries (without a proxy, after a pause of 5 seconds, doubled at each retry up to 150 seconds).

Why is a property "not found"?

An address the roll does not know (a new building not assessed yet), a unit missing from its building's list, a building with units when no unit number is given, a listing outside British Columbia, a PID or roll number that is not in the roll, a location that is no place of British Columbia (the closest place the Province geocoder found is given, and never searched instead). Each one is listed with its reason in the NOT_FOUND record of the run's key-value store, and none is charged. Write the unit first for a condo (202-1000 Beach Ave) and the town when the same street exists in several towns.

Is the data safe to open in Excel or to show on a web page?

Listing descriptions are the agents' own words, copied as they are. A text can begin with -, +, = or @: Excel and Google Sheets may read such a cell of a CSV file as a formula. When you open a CSV, import the text columns as text. Every URL field holds an http(s) URL or null. On a web page, escape every field like any text written by a stranger.

Known limitations

• A unit the roll does not list separately (a duplex, a rented building) comes with the values of the whole property, marked wholeBuilding: tick exactMatchOnly to drop them.
• landValue, improvementValue and neighbours need Land / building split (off by default); comparableSales needs Comparable sales (off by default).
• The City of Vancouver's tax and zoning cover the City of Vancouver only (not North Vancouver, Burnaby…).
• garages and carports are empty for most properties: BC Assessment leaves them blank on its own pages.
• A listing URL is found on Realtor.ca's map around the address its URL gives; when it is not there (a rental, a commercial listing), the property of that address is returned without the listing.
• Two runs sharing the same stateKey at the same time may both return the same new result.

A run the platform stops without warning (out of memory, run timeout)

• Resurrect it: it goes on from where it stood at most a minute before the stop. What it had read since is read again, and the properties already saved are skipped: none is delivered or charged twice, and maxItems still counts them.
• With onlyNew, the memory is saved once a minute: resurrect the stopped run and the rows it had saved meanwhile join the memory; leave it stopped for good, and the next run may return up to a minute of them once more.

Something doesn't work?

The last line of the log counts the properties saved, not found, filtered out, and the requests that failed after every retry. Those requests are listed, with the reason, in the FAILED_REQUESTS record of the run's key-value store, and the entries not found in the NOT_FOUND record. A run that saved nothing and had failed requests fails, and its last message gives the cause.

If BC Assessment changes its pages, you are told instead of paying for blank rows: if the first 20 properties read all lack their value, their address or their value history (or, for listings, their listing date), the run saves nothing more, stops and fails, and its last message names the missing field: at most those first properties are charged.

🛟 Support

Open an issue in the Issues tab with a link to your run: the run log and the FAILED_REQUESTS / NOT_FOUND records of the key-value store show exactly which entries failed and why.
