Calculating your property taxes

New! Leduc property owners can now choose to receive their property assessment and tax notices electronically. To sign up for electronic property assessment and tax communications, submit a registration request online or in-person at the Civic Centre Finance Counter.  

Note: You cannot receive both print and electronic notifications – if you sign up for electronic property assessment and tax notices, you will no longer receive print copies in the mail and will be responsible for checking online and ensuring payments are made on time.  

The municipal tax rate is a big factor in calculating property taxes, but it’s not the only one. It’s important to understand that your individual property assessment also plays an important role. That’s because the city uses the municipal tax rate and your individual property assessment to calculate what you are required to contribute in municipal property taxes.

The municipal tax rate gets a lot of attention, whether it increases, decreases or stays the same each year. But, no matter what happens with the tax rate, your property tax bill could fluctuate – because your property assessment most likely has changed due to market value changes from year to year. That’s why the impact of the municipal tax rate on your bill may be different from your neighbours; your property assessment is likely different from theirs.

So what’s the bottom line?

The following main factors can change from year-to-year and each one impacts what you are required to contribute in property taxes:

  • The total amount needed in municipal property taxes to pay for city services;
  • The total assessment value of properties in Leduc;
  • The municipal tax rate;
  • Your individual property assessment value;
  • Provincial education taxes; and
  • Leduc Housing Foundation.

Your property tax bill will also include a line item for education taxes and the Leduc Housing Foundation. These are collected by the city on behalf of the province and foundation, and are not managed by the city.
