Property owners in the Town of Devon will receive their 2026 Property Assessment Notices by mail before the end of February. These notices provide the updated assessed value of your property and are an important part of how annual municipal taxes are calculated.


What Your Assessment Notice Means

Your assessment notice reflects the market value of your property, which is determined each year using provincially regulated mass appraisal techniques. This ensures a fair and equitable distribution of property taxes—homes with similar market values pay similar amounts.

For 2026 assessments:

  • Market value date: July 1, 2025
  • Physical condition date: December 31, 2025

This means your 2026 assessment represents what your property would likely have sold for on July 1, 2025, considering its condition at year-end.

Please note: Your assessment notice is not a tax bill. Property tax notices will be mailed in May and are due June 30, 2026.


Why Property Values Change

Property values can increase or decrease depending on:

  • Real estate market trends in your neighbourhood
  • Recent property sales of comparable homes
  • Physical changes to your property, such as:
    • Home renovations or upgrades
    • Finishing a basement
    • Adding a garage or building addition

Supplementary Assessments

If your home or building was under construction as of December 31, your notice will show:

  • The assessment for the lot, plus
  • The assessed value of the building based on its level of completion

If construction is completed or the building becomes occupied in 2026, you may also receive a supplementary assessment. This reflects the difference between your annual assessed value and the value of the fully completed property. More details can be found on the back of your assessment notice.


Questions About Your Assessment?

If you have questions or would like to review your assessment with an assessor, please contact:

📞 780-987-8300
📧 taxes@devon.ca

Town assessors can explain how your property value was determined and discuss any concerns. Appointments are available by phone or virtual meeting.


How to File an Assessment Complaint

If, after speaking with an assessor, you still believe your property assessment is incorrect, you may file a formal complaint.

  • Complaint deadline: April 28, 2026
  • Where to submit: Town of Devon (Attn: Assessment Review Board Clerk)
  • What you need: A completed Assessment Complaint Form and the applicable fee

Forms are available on the Alberta Municipal Property Assessment website.
