1. How are my property taxes calculated?4 c5 B4 b+ ]+ c1 I! l. \1 s
A property tax bill is made up of a municipal portion – based on the budget City Council sets each year – and a provincial education portion. The Alberta Government determines the amount of provincial education property tax (requisition) each municipality in Alberta will pay. Provincial legislation requires the City of Edmonton to collect this tax from property owners on behalf of the province. j' f h7 \% @! \ l3 D7 K- _" x3 `9 {: a) n; R6 B

In 2012 the City will collect about $1.026 billion in residential and non-residential property taxes to help pay for civic services and programs. Of this amount, about $462 million is collected from owners of single-family homes and residences containing three or fewer units.+ @8 f' U8 O' ?% C. L

楼上已经说的很详细了。因为地税是跟政府的需要有关,所以每年在政府发布数据之前谁也不知道。但是政府每年需要的钱都相对稳定的增加或者减少,所以不会出现需要很担心的情况。 $ b1 Q, c' m. ~5 }+ O4 F9 B. W" I5 T6 U4 p( f. O
另外,很多人交这个税,所以在买房子的时候对这个的关注不需要太大。
