Breaking Down Your Tax Bill

Date posted:

On May 27, council approved the 2025 tax rate bylaw. Your tax bill includes the municipal levy (the portion that funds municipal operations and council sets the budget for),  and the provincial education tax (we collect on behalf of the Government of Alberta and send to them). 

Council kept the municipal tax increase to 3.9%, while the provincial education requisition for Canmore increased 18% (in addition to the 23% increase the year prior). 

The chart above shows you the monthly breakdown of where your taxes go for the median price of a single detached residential unit valued at $1,481,500.
