Property Tax Comparison

This Property Tax Comparison page is solely an informational tool and should be used for educational purposes only. You can use this tool to see the tax rates of neighbouring municipalities and what your farmland or residential taxes might look like in these communities. The rates shown here are current, as of 2025.

  • Differing Services: Municipalities provide different services and levels of service, for example some communities may offer transit or additional grant programs, while some may not.
  • Property Value: The actual assessed value of a property similar to yours may be higher or lower in other municipalities. 
  • Additional Taxes: Education and seniors' lodging taxes that are collected on behalf of the Province of Alberta and the local seniors' housing foundation are not shown. 

Taxes are calculated based on the assessed value of your property. The assessed value of your property is shown on your combined tax and assessment notice. You can find more information on Municipal Assessment and Taxation in Saddle Hills County here.
