The series consists of four separate indexes created or used by the Property Taxation Branch between 1983 and 1995. The indexes contain information about British Columbia property owners and were used by the branch to either index the annual tax roll or to provide information about ownership. The records are on over 7800 COMfiche (computer output microfiche) and are arranged in different ways depending on the index. The four index types are as follows:
Tax roll index 1983, 1986-1988: this index was generated by the Property Taxation Branch and is arranged by year and then by surname or by collection district and then surname. The entries list the collection and school district, and the folio numbers of rural properties.
BCAA owner name index 1986-1995: This index was generated by the British Columbia Assessment Authority and is arranged by year, then by BCAA area and jurisdiction and then by surname. The entries list the school district and roll numbers of provincial properties.
BCAA property address index 1985-1992, 1994-1995: this index was generated by the British Columbia Assessment Authority and is arranged by year, then by BCAA area and jurisdiction and then by street address. The entries list the school district and roll numbers of provincial properties.
BCAA plan number index 1985-1995: this index was generated by the British Columbia Assessment Authority and is arranged by year, then by BCAA area and jurisdiction and then by plan number. The entries list the jurisdiction, roll numbers, legal description and school district of provincial properties.
All of the indexes are incomplete. Each index may be missing an entire year, missing areas within years and missing fiche sheets within areas. The file list notes all the years and areas received and the individual fiche envelopes note missing fiche sheets where known.
The records have been classified as 45540-14 under the Property Taxation Operational Records Classification System (ORCS).
