North Vancouver is two separate municipalities with different rules: the City, centred on Lonsdale, and the District, which wraps around it from Deep Cove to Capilano. The City is condo-heavy and walkable; the District is mostly detached houses on slopes and creek ravines. Commute time over the bridges is part of every buying decision here.
At the $1,305,600 benchmark the 50% rebate is about $8,542. Lynn Valley and Edgemont detached houses around $2,200,000 bring about $13,685 back.

Check these before you buy in North Vancouver
City vs District
Bylaws, property tax rates and development rules differ between the City and the District. Know which one you are buying in.
Slope and creek hazard areas
Much of the District has steep lots and creek corridors with hazard designations that limit renovation and additions. Ask for any geotechnical reports or covenants on title.
Older Lonsdale condos
Central Lonsdale has many 1970s to 1990s buildings. Check the depreciation report and recent levies.
The commute question
Every North Shore commute to Vancouver crosses the Lions Gate or the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, or takes the SeaBus from Lonsdale Quay. Lower Lonsdale buyers who work downtown often skip the car entirely. Lynn Valley and Deep Cove buyers should drive their actual route on a weekday morning before they commit.
Worked example, Lynn Valley house
A family buys a 1960s house in Lynn Valley for $2,200,000. The buyer brokerage earns about $27,370 before GST. Their share, about $13,685, pays for a new perimeter drain, one of the most common big-ticket repairs on older North Shore houses.
