Edmonton’s Assessment
The City of Edmonton assesses properties every year at market value as of July 1 of the previous year. Assessment notices are mailed each January, and you have 21 days from receiving the notice to file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board; the deadline is printed on the notice. How assessment appeals work, and the evidence to gather, is in appealing your property assessment.
