Taxes
Your property assessment is a valuation of your property, prior to the current tax year. For example, the 2022 taxes as levied by Clear Hills County are based on the valuation of your property in 2021.
The Municipal Government Act legislates and requires that all property in Alberta be assessed each year. Annual assessments ensure that changes in the marketplace are captured annually, protecting taxpayers from large market fluctuations from year to year. Property assessments are used to distribute taxes in a fair and equitable way. This means that owners of property with similar market values will pay similar amounts of property taxes.
All newly constructed properties are inspected, which allows the assessor to collect key details that are used as part of Alberta’s mass appraisal system. The mass appraisal system categorizes properties into groups of comparable properties and determines their value using common data, mathematical models and statistical tests that allow assessors to accurately value a large number of properties in a short period time.
Existing properties are reviewed from time to time using an on-site inspection or digital mapping where the assessor will review and verify the physical details of the property. This process is necessary to ensure the information used in the property’s assessment remains accurate.
The Municipal Government Act provides an assessor with the authority to enter and inspect the interior and exterior of property and request any documents to assist in preparing the assessment. In carrying out these duties, the assessor must provide reasonable notice of an inspection, conduct the inspection at a reasonable time and produce identification.
Property taxes are based on the following formula.
Assessed Property Value X Property Tax Mill Rate ÷1000 = Taxes
