City of Edmonton property tax notices mailed out |
May 26, 2026
Edmonton property owners can expect to receive their 2026 property tax notices by mail or email soon, as the City sent more than 440,000 notices this week.
“Property taxes fund the services residents see around them every day and we encourage property owners to look for and review their property tax notice,” said Anton Szabo, Director of Taxation. “Over $2.5 billion in property taxes enables City employees to deliver services including emergency services, parks, trails, roads, bridges, transit, recreation centres, attractions and social supports.”
A typical single-detached home assessed at $492,500 will pay about $426 a month in combined property taxes this year. Roughly 75 per cent, or $318, will fund City services, and 25 per cent, or $108, will go to the Province of Alberta to fund public and separate schools.
This year, the municipal property tax increase is 6.9 per cent. The provincial education tax will go up by 10.2 per cent overall for residential properties and 2.6 per cent for non-residential properties in Edmonton.
It is important to note that not all property owners will see a 6.9 per cent increase in their municipal taxes. The increase for each property may be higher or lower than the 6.9 per cent overall tax increase, depending on how its assessed value changed compared to the overall market change in its assessment category. Properties with values that rose more than the overall residential market will see higher tax increases, while those that rose less, or decreased in value, will see lower tax increases.
This year, the overall residential market change was 5.7 per cent, while the overall non-residential market change was 2.7 per cent. Watch the City’s video for more information on the assessment and taxation process.
The payment deadline is June 30, 2026. Property owners can make payments at most banks, by phone, through online banking or by mail. The City also offers a monthly payment plan used by more than 150,000 property owners. More information on payment options is included on each tax notice.
“We encourage property owners to sign up for the monthly payment plan as soon as they can — the application deadline is June 15 to start paying monthly in July,” said Szabo. “Over a third of all property owners pay monthly using direct withdrawals, and it’s a really convenient way to break up your property tax payments without worrying about payment deadlines.”
Property owners who do not receive their property tax notice by June 3 should contact 311.
