Edmonton property owners can expect to see their 2023 property tax notices in mailboxes or inboxes soon, as over 400,000 notices were sent out this week.
“Every year, property taxes are the major source of revenue for the City of Edmonton,” said Stephen Leroux, Director of Taxation. “Through their taxes, Edmontonians help to fund 70 municipal programs and services, including fire rescue, roadway maintenance, police and public transit. The City works hard to provide value for these tax dollars and this year we’ve gone further to explain where those tax dollars go through a brochure that will be included in every notice.”
For 2023, the City is also sending out an educational insert with every tax notice, breaking down where property taxes go and the per-day tax amount that goes to different municipal services for a typical household. A typical single-family home, assessed at $425,500, will pay $4,020 in property taxes this year. Roughly 74 per cent—or $2,982—will help pay for municipal programs and services and 26 per cent—or $1,038—will go directly to the Government of Alberta to support education.
This year, around $2.4 billion in property taxes will be collected by the City, around $500 million of which is collected on behalf of the Government of Alberta to fund provincial education.
Property owners have a variety of ways to pay. The payment deadline is June 30, 2023. Payment can be made at most banks, by phone or online banking, and by mail. The City also offers a
monthly payment plan. More information on payment options is included on every tax notice.
Property owners who do not receive their property tax notice by June 5 should contact 311.
Paperless subscribers will see their notices posted online at
myproperty.edmonton.ca. MyProperty accounts enable the user to see their assessment and tax history and track their payments. New users can use the access code found on their latest notice to sign up.
