Each fall, City Council approves a budget that sets how much money is needed to deliver municipal services like fire, transit, road maintenance, and snow clearing. Property taxes are one way these services are funded.
Your property taxes are based on the tax rate for the current year. Once the rate is set, your property’s assessed value is multiplied by the tax rate to determine your property taxes. This approach helps ensure the cost of City services is shared equitably across the community.
Residents can pay property taxes through online banking, in-person at the Civic Centre, or by mail. A Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) is available, allowing homeowners to break down their annual tax bill into monthly payments. The deadline for the full annual tax payment is June 30. Late payment penalties are charged beginning July 1.
To enroll, complete an application form and provide a void cheque or pre-authorized form from your bank. Please note the payment is an estimate based on the previous year’s taxes until you receive the tax notice in May.
Annual tax notices, with your assessed property value and the corresponding property tax due, are sent to all property owners on May 15, 2026. Property owners are responsible for making sure your taxes are paid, regardless of whether the notice is received.
Let the City know if your mailing address or banking information changes, so you don’t miss important notices.
Independent assessors review property values every year. Your property’s assessed value helps determine how much property tax you pay. Assessments are based on market value, considering factors like property type, size, location, and recent sales.
Assessment notices are sent to property owners each January. If you believe your assessment is not accurate, you can file an appeal by the deadline listed on your notice.
Use the City’s tax calculator to estimate your property taxes based on your assessed value and the tax rate.

Not all property taxes collected stay with the City of Leduc; some portions must be collected for other purposes, like education and housing.
Of every dollar paid in property tax, 72 cents funds municipal services, including:
The Province of Alberta sets the education property tax rate and requires municipalities to collect it on the Province’s behalf. The City of Leduc does not set this rate and does not keep this portion of property taxes.
In 2026, the City of Leduc is required to collect approximately $26.5 million from property owners for provincial education, an increase of about 13% from last year.
The Leduc Regional Housing Foundation is a non‑profit organization established under Ministerial Order by the Province of Alberta. A portion of property taxes is directed to the Foundation to support affordable housing programs, including seniors housing and supported living. The Foundation sets the funding requisition for its programs, and the City is required to collect and forward this amount as part of the property tax system.
