On April 29, City Council confirmed that the combined tax levy for municipal and education property taxes will be 0% for residential property owners and a 2% decrease for non-residential property owners. The 2020 budget absorbs financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that could have meant a municipal tax levy increase of 7.6% to address the impacts of the tax-supported revenue losses.For a typical home in Edmonton valued at $387,000, this is a decrease of $28.Property taxes are due in June but, this year, late payment penalties will not be charged on taxes paid by September 1, 2020. This applies to both the education and municipal portions of the tax bill for residential and non-residential properties.Please see the news release for more information about the April 29th budget update. The City of Edmonton is supporting citizens and businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All property owners who are experiencing financial difficulty, whether they pay property tax annually or monthly, may delay their usual payments until August 31 and no late penalties will be applied.
