🏠 Your City Tax Assessment Is Still High — Here's What You Need to Know
Calgary's real estate market has shifted, but don't expect your property tax assessment to follow.
The City of Calgary bases assessments on a specific valuation date — meaning even if your home's current market value has softened, your assessment could still reflect last year's higher numbers. And that tax bill? It goes with it.
Here's what every Calgary homeowner should know:
✅ Assessments do NOT automatically drop with the market
✅ You have the right to appeal — but deadlines are strict
✅ A higher assessment doesn't always mean higher taxes — it depends on the overall mill rate
Feeling like your assessment doesn't match today's reality? You may have grounds for an appeal — and we can help you understand what your property is really worth right now.
