Education Tax Increase in 2026

How The Education Tax Affects Your Property Taxes

The Province of Alberta has increased the education property tax for 2026. This is a provincially set tax that municipalities collect from residents on behalf of the Government of Alberta.

How This May Affect You

Owners of residential properties will pay $34 more in education property tax for every $100,000 of assessed property value. For the average home assessed at $448,000, this will equate to approximately $152 this year. 

Owners of non-residential properties will pay $13 more in education property tax for every $100,000 of assessed property value. For the average non-residential property assessed at $1,042,000 this will equate to approximately $135

The Town of Olds does not set or control the education portion of property taxes.To learn more about municipal property taxes, please visit: abmunis.ca 

What’s Next?

Final municipal tax rates will be set later this spring. Property tax notices will be mailed the week of May 15, and taxes are due by June 30.
