The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history. In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes directly to the Province, and the City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase. For a typical $706,000 home: 🔺 Province: +$339 🔹 City: +$49 We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The City’s increase is 1.81%. The total increase is about $388, with the overwhelming majority driven by the Province. Check your estimate at calgary.ca/taxcalculator.
