The City of Spruce Grove, Alberta, mailed 2026 property assessment notices to property owners on February 4, 2026, marking the start of the yearly period when residents can review their property’s assessed value. These notices provide the assessed market value used to calculate property taxes for 2026; they are not tax bills (the tax bill will be issued later after Council sets the mill rate).
Residents have a 60-day window from the date the notice was mailed to review their assessment and, if necessary, file a complaint. For the February 4 mailing, that 60-day deadline is April 6, 2026. If a homeowner believes their assessed value does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2025, they should contact the City assessor and, if still dissatisfied, submit a formal complaint before the deadline.
This year’s valuations reflect market value as of July 1, 2025, and the physical condition and characteristics of properties as of December 31, 2025. The budget approved by City Council for 2026–2028 includes a 4.68 per cent tax increase to support core services and community safety. The budget specifically calls for hiring additional RCMP officers, Peace Officers and a Fire Prevention Officer, as well as investments in infrastructure projects such as road improvements.
If a resident cannot resolve a valuation concern with the City assessor, they may file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board (a quasi‑judicial body that hears assessment complaints). Under Alberta’s Municipal Government Act the complaint and any required fees must be received by the Assessment Review Board clerk within 60 days of the date the assessment was mailed; that deadline is set in legislation and generally cannot be extended, which means missing it normally forfeits the right to appeal that year’s assessment.
“This budget strikes a balance between making necessary investments in our community, while also considering the pressures that are facing many of our residents,” said Mayor Jeff Acker when Council approved the 2026–2028 Budget and Fiscal Plan.
Residents with questions about their assessment can review information on the City’s property‑assessment webpage or contact the City’s Assessment and Taxation department for an explanation of the valuation.
