The City of Calgary says close to 600,000 property assessments are in the mail.

The assessments, which are used to help determine how much property tax Calgarians are expected to pay, are based on the property’s estimated value on July 1, 2024 and the physical condition of the property on Dec. 31, 2024.

Overall the city says the typical market value of a residential property increased by 15 per cent over the previous year, while the typical market value of a non-residential property increased by three per cent.

The city says much of the increased demand for and value of residential housing is being driven by increased migration.
