6990 DENMAN RD DENMAN ISLAND

Valuation & taxes

LandIntelVal is our sales- and assessment-informed model estimate. Land is built up from three parts: a base building-site value, additional acreage at a rural per-acre rate, and — for waterfront lots — a premium for each measured metre of actual shoreline, tiered by water type (ocean shoreline is valued well above lake, river, marsh, or creek). Those rates are calibrated against real Denman sale prices (credibility-blended with assessment-derived rates where sales are thin). Buildings are valued at the greater of BC Assessment's building value and a measured-footprint value proxy. Its coefficient is derived from assessed building values per unit of footprint or a fallback; it is not a construction quote or proof of under-reported improvements. It is not an appraisal, not an official valuation, and is not used by any regulatory body; BC Assessment uses different methodology and may value this property substantially differently.

Estimated property tax is calculated from the publicly available 2025 rural rates for Jurisdiction 771 (CVRD Electoral Area A) including Denman service-area levies, applied to the current BC Assessment value assuming Class 01 (Residential). The actual bill may differ based on property classification, exemptions (Home Owner Grant, deferments), and supplementary assessments. This is not a tax bill. [rate source]

Local-zoning density screen

The stored zone (A) and supported area rules produce 1 modeled principal units and 3 units in an extended conditional scenario. Alternative TUP and ALR routes to the same secondary unit are not counted twice. These are local-zoning screens, not verified entitlements or additional homes available to build. ALR permissions, title, water, sewage, existing buildings and other approval conditions require separate assessment. [bylaw]

Building siting & setbacks

The nearest substantial building on this lot sits about 10.6 m from the closest lot line, measured from satellite building footprints against the parcel boundary. The side/rear lot-line setback for this zone is 4.5 m; the front setback is 10 m.

This is within the bylaw minimum for the zone (front-yard and sea setbacks, which are larger, are assessed separately). Measured from public data; not a legal determination.

Land assessment pattern

According to BC Assessment, this parcel's assessed value is $623,919 (2026), compared with our LandIntelVal market estimate of $1,439,405. Assessed values substantially below a market estimate are typical of parcels classified as Class 9 (Farm) under the BC Assessment Act, which assesses farm land at agricultural-productivity value rather than market value. BC Assessment does not publish property-class data, so the classification for this property cannot be confirmed from public records.
