Edmonton property taxes are calculated by applying municipal and provincial education tax rates to a property’s assessed market value, determined annually by the City of Edmonton. Property taxes support municipal operations, infrastructure, public services, and education funding. Tax notices are typically mailed in May, with payments due by June 30.

Aspects of Edmonton Property Taxes

• Assessed Value: The City assesses properties each year based on market value using comparable sales, property size, age, and neighbourhood trends. Residential properties are taxed on their full assessed value.

• Tax Rates: Property taxes consist of a municipal tax rate and a provincial education requisition, combined into one overall residential rate.

• Supplementary Taxes: If a new home is built or major improvements occur during the year, owners may receive a supplementary tax bill reflecting added property value.

• Local Improvement Charges: Additional charges may apply for neighbourhood upgrades such as alley paving, lighting, or drainage improvements.

• Tax Relief Programs: Eligible seniors may access provincial property tax deferral programs to postpone payments.

• Appeals: Property owners can file an assessment review request if they disagree with the assessed value.

Important Information

• 2025 Assessment: Assessments showed moderate increases reflecting steady market growth and continued migration into Alberta.

• Tax Changes: Individual tax increases depend on municipal budget requirements and relative assessment changes across Edmonton.

• Payment Options: Taxes may be paid in full or through Edmonton’s monthly TIPP program.
