Assessment notices are on their way to property owners in the RMWB

If you own property in the region, you will be receiving your assessment notice by mail in the next few days. Notices were issued by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo on February 20 to residential and commercial property owners. Assessment notices contain important information about a property’s value and help to ensure each property owner pays their fair share of property taxes in 2024.  

Understanding your notice

For the 2024 taxation year, the property assessments are based on July 1, 2023 market values and physical conditions as of Dec. 31, 2023. Assessments are then used to calculate your annual property tax. Property tax notices are sent out in May once Council reviews and approves the 2024 Property Tax Rate Bylaw. You can also access information about your property assessment using the online search tool on the municipal website. 

Filing an appeal

After speaking with an assessor, property owners who still have concerns with their assessment, may file an appeal with the Assessment Review Board before the April 29 deadline. For more information on how to file an appeal, visit rmwb.ca/assessments.

2024 Assessment and Taxation Key Dates 

Request for Information (RFI)-Watch your mail in March 

Some residents will also be receiving a RFI notice in the mail. This information helps the RMWB to collect information about your property so the Assessment office can calculate a fair and equitable market values assessment. The RFI cycles through different neighbourhoods, so you won’t receive one every year for the same property.
