How we Determine Property Taxes
Property taxes are composed of School taxes (Alberta School Foundation and opted-out schools - 'separate schools'), Municipal taxes and specific requisitions for Community Services, Protective Services and Environmental Services.
School taxes are set by the Provincial Government. Municipal and specific requisition tax rates are determined by County Council.
Taxes are computed by multiplying your assessment by the tax rate to collect the required amount of taxes.

If you have any questions related to the assessment of your property, please call the Assessment Department at 403.350.2166 and we will be happy to discuss your assessment with you.
Understanding your Assessment
Your assessment was completed using the guidelines contained in the Municipal Government Act.
- All municipalities are required, by law, to use and follow this Act.
- All assessments are calculated using the information in our files for each property in the municipality. We periodically re-inspect properties to update the information in our files
- All assessments, other than farmland, are based on market values.
- Assessors use sales information to calculate the value of your property.
- The marketplace and not the assessor determines the value of your property. Thus, properties with similar market values will have comparable assessed values.
- All Farmland properties are now assessed using the Productivity Levels prescribed in the current provincial legislation. This is designed to measure the potential capability of Farmland to produce income from farming operations.
