Edmonton's 2026 residential property tax rate is approximately 0.87% of assessed value. This is higher than Calgary's ~0.65% but still below the national Canadian average of roughly 1.1%. The higher rate relative to Calgary reflects Edmonton's larger municipal service obligations, older infrastructure requiring significant reinvestment, and a smaller proportional commercial assessment base compared to Calgary's downtown core.
For a home assessed at $450,000 in Edmonton, the annual property tax bill is approximately $3,915 — or $326 per month. Edmonton's average residential assessment has been rising, driven by strong in-migration to Alberta and limited housing supply. The City has implemented multi-year rate plans to help homeowners plan for predictable increases.
Edmonton Assessment Process
The City of Edmonton Assessment Branch values all properties annually, with values reflecting market conditions as of July 1 of the prior year. Edmonton uses the comparable sales approach for residential properties. You receive your Assessment Notice in January, with a 60-day window to file a complaint if you disagree. The Assessment Review Board (ARB) hears all assessment appeals in Edmonton.

How to Appeal Your Edmonton Property Assessment
File a formal complaint with the Assessment Review Board (ARB) by the deadline printed on your Assessment Notice (typically late February/early March). The process: submit a Complaint Form with the ARB, specify the grounds (value too high, classification wrong, property details incorrect), gather comparable sales evidence or a certified appraisal, attend your scheduled hearing (in-person or virtual), and receive the board's written decision within 60 days.
Filing fees for residential ARB complaints are modest — typically $30–$50 — and are refunded if your appeal is successful. The City of Edmonton Assessment Branch staff also offer pre-hearing conferences to resolve many disputes informally before the formal hearing.
