Property taxes & assessments

Your tax dollars help fund essential municipal services and contribute to provincial education and seniors’ housing. Property taxes can be complex, so check out our resources to learn how taxes are calculated, better understand your assessment and find out how to manage everything from payments to address changes. 

Understanding your property taxes

Your property tax bill is made up of three parts:  

  • Municipal taxes — the portion that funds essential local services like fire, RCMP, roads, parks and community programs.
  • Provincial education taxes — the portion that goes to the provincial government to help fund Alberta’s education system.
  • Seniors’ housing taxes — a contribution to the Rocky View Foundation, which supports affordable housing for seniors in the region.

Estimate your 2025 property taxes

In 2025, the Province increased the education property tax rate. As a result, most property owners will see an increase in the education portion of their bill.

The taxation year runs from January to December, and tax rates are set annually based on municipal needs and provincial requirements.
