Canadian historical real estate data

[Subwoofah]

I’m building a web map application that shows tax assessments for all the houses in Calgary. Anyone know if this data is available to the public? Is this data protected by the privacy act? I’m also looking for other historical data ie; purchase price, sale price, # of occupants, employment, construction/development, etc.

Thanks

Just click on "search by map" on the link above.

Also, even if you compiled info on the residents of the house, it would be against the FOIPP act to list that in a public database.

I thought it was illegal only if I put their name and contact info on the internet...

I think address and family details would be enough to run foul of the laws. But you should really check with a privacy lawyer or the gubermint.
