Assessment notices are mailed in May each year and provide you with the assessed value of your property. It also contains the following information: name of property owner, mailing address of the owner, legal description, school support, allocation (public or separate), roll number (when making inquiries, please refer to this number), tax classification, final date to file a complaint, and complaint filing fee.NOTE: Please contact Assessment Services at 780-968-8469 if any information on your notice is incorrect.Property assessment is done each year based on the previous year's market values. The assessment is a major element in determining the amount of municipal and education tax each property owner will pay. An assessment fairly and accurately distributes municipal and school taxes among property owners. All property values do not increase or decrease uniformly.
Property assessment is used in combination with a tax rate, set each year by Parkland County Council, to determine municipal property tax. People who feel their assessment is incorrect should talk to a Parkland County Assessor first. Usually concerns about an assessment can be resolved quickly without a formal appeal.
