Burnaby should adopt 'assessment averaging'

Dear Editor: Re: Tax not province's fault, Letters to the editor, July 10. Mr. Evans is right. The City of Burnaby can do something to reduce city property taxes. Vancouver for years has "assessment averaging.

Burnaby doesn't have assessment averaging.

I have been told that city council has the ability to adopt the "assessment averaging" model. Burnaby's taxes would be lower if we had "assessment averaging."
