Property Assessment and Taxes
Property assessment notices are sent to property owners at the end of January each year.
The property taxes each resident pays is calculated in proportion to the value of the real estate property they own. Determining the value of a property for taxation purposes is known as assessment. Assessed values are a means of fairly distributing the town tax burden and ensuring that each property owner pays a fair and equitable level of tax. Find out how your property assessment is determined.
As assessment values vary between individual properties and between communities, your municipal tax changes may be higher or lower than the average.
The average residential property saw a decrease in its assessed value to $455,900 from $470,100 and should expect to see a $11 year ($0.92/month) decrease in municipal taxes, or 0.44%. As assessment values vary between individual properties and between communities, most property owners will have tax changes that are either higher or lower than the average.
On the annual property tax bills, the Town also collects provincial education taxes and the Rocky View Foundation requisition to support affordable seniors' housing options.
