Bermuda ARV lookup

Find the official Annual Rental Value (ARV) of any Bermuda property. Search over 16,000 homes with ARVs from the Government's 2015 Valuation List by address, street or traditional Bermudian house name — and see each property's assessment numbers and an illustrative annual land-tax figure.

Try a street ("Middle Road"), a full address ("6 Harbour Road") or a house name ("Happy Daze"). Data is loading the first time you type — allow a moment on slow connections.

What is an ARV?

An Annual Rental Value is the Bermuda Government's official assessment of the yearly rent a property could command, set by the Department of Land Valuation and recorded in the valuation list. It is the basis for land tax and for the ARV thresholds that decide which homes non-Bermudians may buy — read more in our guide to ARVs in Bermuda.

How land tax is computed from an ARV

Residential land tax is charged on each valuation unit's ARV using progressive bands — lower slices of the ARV are taxed at low rates and higher slices at steeply higher rates, so two units of $30,000 each pay considerably less than one unit of $60,000. The figures shown above use illustrative band rates; for a full breakdown and to model your own bill, use the Cahow land tax calculator.

How to read assessment numbers

Every valuation unit in the list carries its own assessment number — the identifier the Department of Land Valuation and the Office of the Tax Commissioner use on valuation records and land-tax demand notes. One building can hold several: a house with two accessory apartments has three valuation units and three assessment numbers, each with its own ARV and its own land-tax band. If you're quoting a property to the Government, use the assessment number rather than the street address — it is unambiguous.

ARVs and assessment numbers are from the 2015 Draft Valuation List (effective 1 January 2016), the most recent published list, joined to Government Planning GIS address points — a small number of properties may be missing or matched imperfectly. Land-tax figures are illustrative estimates from progressive band rates and are not a bill; verify current rates with the Office of the Tax Commissioner. Nothing here is an appraisal or legal advice — confirm details with the Department of Land Valuation or a licensed professional before acting. Data: Bermuda Planning GIS + 2015 Draft Valuation List.
