Property owners in Edmonton should expect to receive their annual tax notices in the mail this week.
A typical single-family home assessed at $397,000 will pay $3,378 in property taxes this year. About 70 per cent of that – or $2,385 – will pay for city programs and services and 30 per cent – or $993 – will go to the government of Alberta to fund education.
The city will collect about $2 billion in property taxes this year, with $500 million going to the province for education. Tax-funded programs in Edmonton include police, fire rescue, roadway maintenance and public transit. Property taxes are also used for amenities like the river valley, city libraries and recreation centres.
