Assessment Complaints

If you have inquiries regarding an assessment appeal, or the appeal process, please contact the assessment appeal board clerk, or call the office main line and ask to speak to the clerk.

The Assessment Complaint Deadline is July 14, 2025.

Should you choose to file a complaint, the completed Assessment Complaint Form and required fee must be received by the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board no later than 4:30 pm on July 14, 2025, in accordance with Section 284 (4) of the Municipal Government Act.

A complaint to the assessment review board may be about any of the following matters shown on an assessment notice or on a tax notice (other than a property tax notice).

the description of the property or business
the name or mailing address of an assessed person or taxpayer
an assessment amount
an assessment class
an assessment sub-class
the type of property
the type of improvement
school support
whether the property or business is assessable
whether the property or business is exempt from taxation
any extent to which the property is exempt from taxation under a bylaw under section 364.1 of the Act
whether the collection of tax on the property is deferred under a bylaw under section 364.1 of the Act
a designated officer's refusal to grant an exemption or deferral under a bylaw under section 364.1 of the Act

Some matters or information shown on an assessment notice or tax notice may be corrected by contacting the municipal assessor, eliminating the need to go through the complaint process. Your assessor will be happy to discuss any concerns prior to filing your complaint.

Within the adopted fee schedule (Bylaw 21/2025), and in accordance with Section 460 (1) of the Municipal Government Act, Council for Foothills County required that the appropriate fee (as outlined below) accompany all complaints. Complaints filed without the appropriate fees are to be deemed invalid.
