What is the property tax rate in British Columbia?
The amount of tax due depends on the fair market value of the property that is transferred:
- If the fair market value is $200,000 or less, the tax is 1% of the fairmarketvalue.
- If the fair market value is greater than $200,000, the tax is 1% of the fairmarket value up to $200,000, plus 2% on the portion of the fair market value that is greater than $200,000.
For example:
- if fair market value of property is $150,000
tax payable is: 1% of $150,000 = $1,500 - if fair market value of property is $250,000
tax payable is: 1% of $200,000 = $2,000
plus 2% of $50,000 = $1,000
for total tax payable of $3,000

Why was British Columbia against confederation?
Those against Confederation questioned what Canada could really offer. After all the USA already had a rail system extending across their country and within a few hundred miles of BC. Most of BC trade was already north/south and culturally they only had the British connection with Canada.
But it was the elite of BC that put up the biggest argument against. They did not want to give up their power and favored positions. They did not want BC to have responsible government and saw Confederation as a threat to their rather profitable situation.
These arguments were addressed by Canada with money. The elite was bought off with promises of "pensions" and cash was promised on a per capita basis.
