Calgary sees surge in calls over property assessments, modest rise in actual complaints

Calgary saw a surge in calls—10,762 during the 2025 property assessment review period, more than double last year—due to a 15% average rise in residential property values. However, only 31% of calls led to formal complaints, totaling 3,378 (0.56% of properties). Assessment increases don't directly equal tax hikes; tax changes depend on how individual assessments compare to the average increase.
