Loren Andreae / Global News

The City of Calgary says over half a million property and business tax assessments will be mailed out on Thursday.

The assessments, which are an estimate of the market value of your home or rental value of your business as of July 1, 2017, are used to determine municipal property and business taxes.

On Thursday, the city said Calgary residential assessment values have increased by an average of two per cent compared to last year. Non-residential values decreased by about five per cent compared to 2017.

The median assessment for a single-family residential home is $480,000, compared to $460,000 the previous year.

The median residential condominium assessment, on the other hand, fell to $260,000 from $270,000 in 2017.
