Budget and Taxes
City Budget
In the spring of 2009, Council and administration worked together to plan the 2010 budget process. Council established budgeting principles and a 3% tax target for civic programs, boards and authorities, plus 2% for the continuation of the Neighbourhood Renewal Funding Program .
Based on the 3% target, administration developed the proposed 2010 Operating Budget which will be presented to Council on November 10, 2009. As directed by Council, the 2010 Edmonton Police Service budget will be presented separately.
Your Tax Bill Comes in May
The City sends your property value assessment notice in January to help you estimate your taxes. Your tax notice is sent in late May and tax payment is due by June 30. Your final tax bill is mainly determined by the size of the City budget, but it is also affected by the Provincial Education Tax announced in March/April, any local improvement charges for your neighbourhood or street, and how your property value assessment changed in comparison to the average change.
