Provincial
Municipal

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.

Note: We're now budgeting at the department level. It helps Calgarians see how their funds support priorities important to them and how each department delivers results. The budget information on this page is displayed by service area to align with the 2025 budget at the time of the 2025 tax mailing. In 2026, this page will be updated to budgeting by department.
