Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC) is an independent, municipally funded, not-for-profit organization that provides property assessment services and information to Nova Scotia’s municipalities and property owners. We determine market values for properties in all 49 municipalities using internationally recognized mass appraisal standards.

PVSC administers the Capped Assessment Program (CAP) on behalf of the Nova Scotia government and in accordance with the Nova Scotia Assessment Act to help limit sudden spikes in property taxation caused by fluctuations in the real estate market.

PVSC assessors regularly inspect properties across Nova Scotia to review permits, collect data, and keep property values up to date. This work is part of our mandate under the Nova Scotia Assessment Act.
