Every person who owns real property in the Province of New Brunswick or who leases property from the Crown (either Federal or Provincial) will pay property tax subject to certain exemptions.  Through the Assessment Act and the Real Property Tax Act, the Province has introduced a centralized assessment and collection system for real property taxation which is applied to municipalities, local service districts and rural communities.  Service New Brunswick is responsible for annually assessing the value of all real property within the province for tax purposes, while the Department of Finance is responsible for the billing and collection of all real property taxes, including those levied by municipalities.  For further information on property assessments and/or property taxation, please go to https://www2.snb.ca/content/snb/en/sites/property-assessment.html.
