When it comes to property taxes, the city’s operating budget calls for increases of 4.9 per cent next year, 4.7 per cent in 2028, 4.5 per cent the following year and 3.9 per cent in 2030.
The proposed budget means Edmontonians would pay about $68 per month in property taxes for every $100,000 of their assessed home value in 2027.
That means the average owner of a $500,000 home would pay around $340 a month in property taxes — an increase of about $18 a month.
“I think we projected a 5.6 per cent increase for 2027 originally, and now we’re at 4.9 — so we’re working our way down,” said city manager Eddie Robar.
