2025 Assessment Notice

Property Assessment Notices

The Town of Coronation mailed Assessment Notices on January 30th, 2025. Your 2025 Property Assessment notice tells you the current Town assessed value of your property. Due to the processing delay at the Province of Alberta Land Titles Office, recent ownership and mailing address changes may not be reflected on Assessment Notices.

Why do I receive a Property Assessment Notice before my property tax bill?

Your property's assessed value is used to calculate your Property Tax Bill once Town Council sets the property tax rate in May. Property Assessment Notices were mailed out on January 30th, 2025, to allow property owners time to review the assessed value and to address any concerns with Revenue & Assessment Services. Since you are not able to dispute your Property Tax Bill, it is important to carefully review your Property Assessment Notice before the April 8th, 2025, complaint deadline.

What if I have a concern or believe there is an error on my Property Assessment Notice?

If you have a concern or believe there is an error on your Property Assessment Notice, don't hesitate to get in touch with The Town Office at 403-578-3679 or email admin@town.coronation.ab.ca to arrange to speak with the town CAO.

As a taxpayer, you are entitled to see or receive sufficient information about your property under Section 299 of the Municipal Government Act and a summary of comparable assessments in the municipality (Sec. 300) to satisfy that your property has been fairly and accurately assessed. Matters Relating to Assessment and Taxation Regulations (pdf) lays out further guidelines as to the method and timelines for receiving assessment records or summaries.

If your discussion with an assessor doesn't resolve your concerns, you may submit a formal written complaint to the Clerk of the Regional Assessment Review Board before the appeal cut-off date, which appears on your Assessment Notice.

When will I get my Property Tax Bill?

Town Council sets the property tax rate in April - May. Your Property Tax Bill is generally mailed out by late May or the beginning of June.

AB Munis Analysis of Albert's 2025 budget

Preliminary Analysis of Alberta’s 2025 Budget

Alberta Municipalities' preliminary analysis of the 2025 Alberta Budget highlights both opportunities and concerns for municipal governments. The budget acknowledges the importance of municipal infrastructure by increasing provincial capital funding by $48 million in 2025-26, largely through the Local Government Fiscal Framework Capital program. However, total municipal capital funding is down $17 million compared to the previous year, and the province has discontinued the Local Growth and Sustainability Grant, which was intended to support high-growth communities. Additionally, the budget increases Grants in Place of Taxes (GIPOT) funding to 75% of the eligible property tax amount, with plans to restore full funding by 2026, addressing a long-standing municipal concern.

One major challenge in the budget is the 14.3% increase in provincial education property taxes, which shifts the tax burden onto homeowners and businesses while municipalities continue to struggle with funding constraints. The report also expresses concern over stagnant funding for Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) and a 23% reduction in mental health and addiction prevention programs. Despite these concerns, the budget provides $343 million for affordable housing—a 7.2% increase—and introduces capital investments in mental health and addiction treatment facilities. The analysis calls for continued engagement between municipalities and the province to ensure fair funding distribution and sustainable local service delivery.
