AIRDRIE, AB – The City of Airdrie has released the 2023 property assessments today. Watch for yours arriving online or through the mail next week.
“Assessments are based on market conditions as of July 1, 2022. As a result of an active market we’ve seen a higher than typical increase in residential property values,” said Valerie Cottreau, City Assessor.“ I think most residents are aware that Airdrie’s housing market has been strong over the last year.”
Across Canada there has been a drastic uptick in the housing market, resulting in property value increases. Airdrie is no exception. There has been an increased demand for suburban housing as our residential market continues a steady growth pattern. The non-residential market has also seen modest increases in value depending on the property type.
The Assessment department looks at Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and other technology during their sales investigation to get the most accurate information. Assessment information, along with community-specific trends, and comparable properties can be found at WWW.AIRDRIE.CA/PROPERTYASSESSMENTVIEWER.
If there are discrepancies with the information that Assessment has on file, property owners are encouraged to complete an online verification form or call the Assessment department at 403.948.8855.
Due to a substantial increase in real estate activity over the past year, new homeowners are experiencing land title processing delays through the Government of Alberta. As a result, all in-person services at Land Titles Offices are suspended and registration submissions are only available online.
Property owners have until March 24 to request an assessment value review. After that date, the tax rate bylaw process will begin, and property taxes will be evenly distributed based on assessment values.
Residents can view their property assessment details on MYAIRDRIE.CA. Residents without an account can sign up at MyAirdrie.ca using the web code provided on their Assessment notice to link their property.
