Assessment Review Board (ARB)
The Calgary Assessment Review Board (ARB) is a quasi-judicial board established in accordance with the Municipal Government Act and The City of Calgary Bylaws 15M2018 and 44M2019. It is an impartial tribunal that hears formal complaints against the assessment of properties, businesses, local improvements, and brownfield property exemptions and deferrals, as determined by The City of Calgary.
The Board is independent from The City of Calgary Assessment and Tax Business Unit (ATBU) and is comprised of citizen members appointed by City Council. The ARB makes decisions in an impartial manner and applies the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness, which includes but is not limited to: the right to a public hearing; a duty to be fair; the right for all affected parties to be heard; the right to an adjournment if the ARB determines it is merited; and the right to legal counsel.
