Start Your AppraisalWhy Duncan Drivers Overpay PST — and How to Fix It
Duncan averages about 59 cm of snow a year, noticeably more than Victoria an hour south, and the Malahat sits between the valley and the capital. Plenty of Cowichan vehicles run that highway daily, which is real distance on a steep, weather-exposed road. Away from it the valley is agricultural, so farm trucks and older utility vehicles trade hands at prices that reflect hard use rather than a generic reference figure.
Duncan market snapshot
Duncan sits inside a service area of 5,800+ (Duncan); 35,000+ North Cowichan, with local buying patterns shaped by the Cowichan Valley, the Malahat, Mount Prevost.

Duncan FIN-320 Appraisal FAQ
Do I have to drive over the Malahat for this?
No. That is rather the point of a remote appraisal. Submit from Duncan, Chemainus or Mill Bay and the signed FIN-320 comes back by email.
Do you appraise farm and work vehicles?
Yes. Higher hours and rural use are precisely the conditions where the real value and the book value part company.
Do Cowichan Valley brokers accept the form?
Yes. It is the standard BC government form and is accepted at any Autoplan broker.
The vehicle has rust underneath. Does that change the tax?
It can. Damp valley winters and salted highway put corrosion on Cowichan vehicles earlier than the mileage suggests, and where that materially reduces value the appraisal is what lets PST be charged on the real figure.
Can I get it done at the weekend?
Yes. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
