More than 600,000 property owners in Calgary are receiving their 2026 property assessment notices as the annual Customer Review Period opens and runs until March 23, 2026.

The notices, sent by the City of Calgary, estimate a property’s market value as of July 1, 2025. If changes were made to a property after that date, such as renovations or additions, the assessment reflects the property’s characteristics as of December 31, 2025.
Property owners registered for e-notice can already view their assessments through myTax, while mailed notices are expected to arrive over the next week.
The city emphasizes that an assessment notice is not a tax bill. No payment is required, and owners who believe the assessed value accurately reflects their property’s market value do not need to take any action. Assessments are used only to determine each owner’s share of property taxes, not to increase the total amount collected.
For 2026, the total value of Calgary’s Assessment Roll is $457 billion, up $15 billion from last year. Overall, residential and non-residential market values rose by about one per cent. The median assessed value for a single residential property is $706,000, compared with $697,000 in 2025. Condominium values moved in the opposite direction, with a median assessment of $347,000, down from $359,000 last year.
Residential trends varied by property type. Single detached and semi-detached homes showed a typical increase of one per cent, while residential condominiums declined by three per cent. Multi-residential rental apartments, though representing only about 2,500 properties, recorded the strongest growth at eight per cent.
Non-residential properties also increased by one per cent overall. Industrial properties rose three per cent, retail increased two per cent, and office values declined four per cent.
