Assessment Appeals

Assessment Review Board

Parkland County annual Property Assessment and Taxation Notices are sent to property and business owners in May of each year.

If you disagree with your assessment, you have a 60-day period to speak to an assessor and resolve your concerns. You may call the County office at 780-968-8888 and ask to speak to an assessor. If you still disagree with your assessment after speaking with an assessor, you may file a complaint to the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board. Your formal complaint must be filed prior to the deadline date noted on your Property Assessment and Taxation Notice. For more information, visit the Government of Alberta, Municipal Property Assessment Publications page, and also view the 2022 Assessment Information for Residential Property Owners brochure.

Take Notice: A complaint against your assessed property value does not exempt you from paying taxes on time or from late payment penalties. If a complaint is successful, a tax adjustment will be applied to the taxroll. Tax refund requests must be made in writing.

How do I file a complaint?

A complaint must be submitted in accordance with Section 460 of the Municipal Government Act. 

Complete the Complaint Form and submit it to the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board in person, by email or fax. Please allow time for delivery if filing by mail. 

An Assessment Review Board (ARB) must not hear any matter in support of an issue that is not identified on the complaint form. The reasons for a complaint must indicate the following:

• What information shown on an assessment notice or tax notice is incorrect;
• In what respect the information is incorrect, including identifying the specific issues related to the incorrect information that are to be decided by the ARB, and the grounds in support of these issues;
• Provide the information you believe to be correct;
• If the complaint relates to an assessment, the requested assessed value.

An agent making a complaint on behalf of an assessed person must also file a completed Agent Authorization Form. An agent means a person or company who for a fee or potential fee acts for an assessed person or taxpayer during the assessment complaint process or at a hearing before an Assessment Review Board or the Municipal Government Board. Both the Complaint Form and Agent Authorization Forms are also available at Parkland County Centre. 

Parkland County Assessment complaints are managed through the. CRASC assembles trained ARB panelists and when a complaint is filed facilitates the necessary complaint hearing.
