The City of Edmonton has released its annual property tax assessment notices, and homeowners are urged to review their statements carefully. This year's tax rates reflect a modest increase, tied to budget adjustments for infrastructure and public services.
Understanding Your Assessment
Property assessments are based on market value as of July 1, 2025. If your property value has risen, your taxes may increase even if the tax rate remains flat. The city provides an online tool to compare your assessment with similar properties.
Key Dates
- Tax notices mailed: May 26, 2026
- Payment due date: June 30, 2026
- Late payment penalty: 1.25% per month

How to Appeal
If you believe your assessment is incorrect, you can file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board. The process is free and can be done online. Evidence such as recent sales data or a professional appraisal may support your case.
Tax Relief Programs
Low-income seniors, persons with disabilities, and families with children may qualify for the City of Edmonton's tax assistance program. Applications are available at city service centres or online.
