2025 Calgary and Edmonton Property Assessments Mailed

2025 Calgary and Edmonton Property Assessments Mailed

In January, taxpayers can expect to receive their 2025 property assessment notices for properties in Calgary and Edmonton. As the preparation of assessments in Alberta is a municipal responsibility, mailing dates and appeal deadlines differ by jurisdiction. Always refer to the deadline on your Notice of Assessment.

Key dates for Alberta include:

Assessment Review

During the annual assessment cycle, property owners and their representatives have the right to receive and review pertinent details, discuss specifics with municipal valuators, and challenge the assessed value through formal appeals. However, communications with assessors are subject to time limits, and appeal applications must be received prior to the complaint deadline.

2025 Property Taxes

While final tax rates for both Calgary and Edmonton will not be set until the second quarter of 2025, municipal budgets have already been passed in both jurisdictions. For non-residential property owners in Calgary, the budget for 2025 includes a 3.6% property tax increase. In Edmonton, that number jumps to 6.1%.

A reminder that taxpayers can generally only challenge the assessed property value, not the tax rate for a particular class of property. 

Key Considerations

Preliminary 2025 property assessments in both Calgary and Edmonton have shown significant increases, particularly in the industrial sector, which will put additional upward pressure on tax liabilities.

Ryan analyzes each property’s assessment to ensure the fairness and equity of municipal valuations, providing property owners with confidence that their property tax liability is appropriate. Where necessary, our advocacy can help reduce the assessed property value, resulting in significant property tax savings.
