Assessment Complaints
What if I don’t agree with my assessment?
If you deem your assessment is not fair in relation to similar properties, or you suspect an error, please contact the City of Leduc Assessment Department at 780-980-7169 to discuss the assessment with your assessor. If the assessment department is not able to explain or correct your concern, you may file a formal complaint to be heard by either the Local or the Composite Assessment Review Board. A complaint must be filed using the government of Alberta “Assessment Review Board Complaint Form” within 60 days from the date your assessment & tax notice was sent to you. The complaint form is also available at the Civic Centre.
