The city assessed value DOES NOT equal current market value.
Assessed value is used for tax purposes and is sent out to each owner at the beginning of each year.
The City's property assessors capture the market conditions of Edmonton’s real estate market as of July 1 (6 months before they send out the new property tax amount)
Then, they establish most probable value your property WOULD HAVE sold for.
Here are the important Edmonton property tax dates to know:
January 16 - Property assessment notices mailed to all Edmonton property owners.

Remember you can file a formal complaint about your property's assessed value, but you cannot file a formal complaint against your property tax bill.
