This calculator is for information purposes only. The calculation does not include any penalties, local improvement levies, or outstanding taxes owed from previous years.

The provincial property tax is based on budget decisions made by the Government of Alberta in March.

Where do your residential tax dollars go?

Calgarian’s priorities are funded by operating and capital budgets. Tax dollars make up 50 per cent of the operating budget. The remaining amount comes from other sources we collect, like user fees and permits.
