Council has approved a municipal property tax rate increase of 3.87% for 2022.

Some of the services that will receive critical investments in 2022 include:

❄️ Snow and ice control
🏘️ Affordable housing
🌳 Parks
🚒 Public safety
🌡️ Climate strategy

There will also be freezes or decreases to specific user fees in 2022, such as freezes to blue, black and green cart rates, and reductions to building safety and development approval base fees.

The decision strikes a balance between strategic savings and important investments and amounts to an additional $6.20 per month for the typical single residential property. It’s important to remember that specific tax rate impacts will vary by property type depending on the assessed value of a home or business, as well as next year’s provincial tax rate, which will be finalized in the first half of 2022.

Thank you to all citizens, organizations and business owners who wrote in or spoke to Council this week. This budget provides a path forward, building on Calgary’s strengths while addressing challenges from the compounding crises we have faced as a city in recent years.
