BC Assessment roll number lookup.
BC Assessment searches by jurisdiction number first, then roll number. Paste what is on your assessment notice and see it in the form the official search wants.
Important, up front: this page checks the shape of what you typed and then sends you to BC Assessment. It cannot tell you whether a roll number exists, and BC Assessment publishes no roll-number length or check digit, so only digits and a 3-digit jurisdiction prefix are checked.

Enter the jurisdiction number and roll number, then press Check format.
How BC Assessment's roll number search works
BC Assessment's FAQ says all the information needed to search is on the property assessment notice: address, roll number, PID or plan. For a roll number search it tells you to enter the jurisdiction number (printed above the roll number at the top right of the notice) first, then the roll number, and to leave out the "- City/Town name" shown on the notice. Its worked example uses jurisdiction 308 and roll 519500059.
The roll number is usually unique for each property, but BC Assessment says there are instances where it is not, which is why the jurisdiction number comes first. BC Assessment's Data Advice guide also notes that in its data products roll numbers are presented unformatted, with hyphens, slashes and periods removed; this tool strips the same separators.
Other ways to find a property
The search page offers Civic address, Roll, Plan and PID tabs. If you have no notice, use the address tab or contact your local BC Assessment regional office, as the FAQ suggests.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my BC Assessment roll number?
BC Assessment says it is at the top right of your assessment notice, with the jurisdiction number printed above it.
Do I enter the roll number alone?
BC Assessment advises entering the jurisdiction number first and then the roll number, because a roll number is usually but not always unique.
What is a folio?
BC Assessment's own glossary describes a folio as a specific property identifiable by a combination of characters. You search with the jurisdiction number plus the roll number.
Does this tool confirm my roll number is real?
No. It reformats what you typed. Only BC Assessment's search can confirm a property.
Guide only — not an official lookup
BC Assessment publishes no roll-number length or check digit. This page does not query any government or municipal system and is not affiliated with one; nothing you type is transmitted anywhere. Always confirm on the official service linked above.
