I dont know if my parents property went up or dropped. But fuck they are still worth a lot of money. $450,000...thats a ton of money.

[jus_sum_guy]

$6000 drop on my property.

Parents property went up by $150,000!!!

Great map to see where your community stands. Shows the tax change for 2009 for City of Calgary:

Residents in Scarboro are gonna be pissed. They lost the West LRT battle and will have to face the "ugly elevated tracks", and their property tax will go up the most.

Tax the rich!

Interesting to see the ones that went up.

Im guessing they were likely relatively undervalued in the past assessments.
Kelvin Grove and Chinook Park are interesting. I have family in each of those and have always thought theyre great neighbourhoods with decent prices even after the boom in prices.

But I look at MLS listing .. price is way lower in my area now .. at least 20% less then 2007 .. and that is just asking price .. I am sure the actual selling price is even lower ..

I dont live in anything close to highend area as well .. just SW ..

Let me check my in law place .. ( just few min away )

Will appeal for sure ..


Oh .. just check .. even my in law ... thier assessment has rised 20% too ..

[Z_Fan]

Mine went down $21000.00 which is BS.

The value is still way way way too high.

[Xtrema]

+$80k

+$30K

I got a feeling lots of complaint this year

[Tik-Tok]

Down 9.4%.

Meh. Offset the tax hike a little anyways. Personally I think I'm in a very underrated neighborhood too. I mean a 10 min drive downtown in traffic is nothing to sneeze at these days.

[Khyron]

Down 50K or just over 10%. Increase this year is what - 5%?

[Jeremiah]

Last year $256,000
This year $232,000

Bought last year at less than what its at this year, so we're still on top :S

[prae]

down a third of a percent.

kelvin grove, chinook park, scarboro... all areas facing major increases in taxation... all areas featuring major transit oriented development?


We looked at a pretty killer bungalow on a bigass pie lot in Kelvin grove. Awesome location, walking distance to the train. Better half didnt like it that much.
