It’s tax time! Are you ready to answer questions?

With property tax notices now going out, it’s that time of year when many residents will ask questions about their assessment or property taxes. To help municipal leaders, Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) has a guide with simple explanations of how to answer common questions, such as: 

• Why is my assessment higher/lower than today’s value of my home? 
• Why are my taxes higher than my neighbour? 
• The value of my home increased. Does that mean I will have to pay more property tax?  
• Why is our tax rate higher than other communities?  

ABmunis’ Property Assessment and Taxation: A Guide for Alberta’s Municipal Leaders answers all these questions and more, equipping you with the knowledge to confidently support your residents and businesses.
