Property and Education Tax Rates (2014 onward)

This budget process allows City Council and Edmontonians to identify where the money is needed most and helps determine the budget to meet those needs. As part of this process, the City considers where the money to cover municipal programs and services comes from.

One of the revenue sources for any municipality in Canada is property taxes. To ensure that all Edmonton property owners pay their fair share of property taxes, the City follows the guidelines established by the provincial government and uses a property assessment process. By legislation, the City collects only enough taxes to support its programs and services—it cannot collect more and it cannot collect less.
