(Red Deer, Alberta) – Property owners must submit their property assessment appeal on or before Monday, March 15, 2010.
Information on a Property Assessment Notice is used to calculate 2010 property taxes. If property owners believe there is an error in their property assessment, they should contact Assessment & Taxation Services at 403-342-8126 and arrange an appointment to speak with an assessor.
If property owners aren’t able to resolve their concerns through a conversation with an assessor, they can submit a formal appeal to the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board. The appeal must explain why they think the information or assessed value on the property assessment notice is incorrect, and what assessed value and information they feel more accurately reflects their property.
Property Assessment Notice appeals must be received by the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board no later than March 15. Due to recent changes in provincial legislation, there are new requirements in the filing of an appeal. Therefore, property owners are encouraged to submit appeals early to ensure there is sufficient time for processing and review of the appeal. Appeals will be reviewed in the order they are received, and the filing fee shown on the owner’s Property Assessment Notice must be included in the package with the appeal form.
Assessment & Taxation Services is located on the fourth floor of City Hall at 4914 48 Avenue. The Clerk of the Assessment Review Board is located on the second floor of City Hall at 4914 48 Avenue; mail should be addressed to Box 5008, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 3T4.
