FAQ
What types of properties do you help with?
We specialize in commercial and industrial properties only — including retail plazas, office buildings, mixed-use developments, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and other business properties across Alberta.
How much can I realistically save on my property taxes?
We specialize exclusively in commercial and industrial properties — including office buildings, retail plazas, mixed-use developments, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and large land holdings.
How much can I realistically save on my property taxes?
Many of our clients save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Savings vary based on property value and assessment accuracy, but reductions of 5–15% are common on over-assessed properties.
Do you handle the entire appeal process?
Yes. We manage everything — reviewing your assessment notice, gathering evidence, preparing and filing the formal complaint, negotiating with the municipality, and representing you at the Assessment Review Board. You don’t lift a finger.
Is there a cost to get started?
None. We provide a free, no-obligation initial review of your assessment. We only move forward if we believe we can deliver meaningful savings.
What is your fee structure?
We operate on a pure contingency basis — you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee is 35% + GST of the first year’s tax savings only. No savings = no fee.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3 to 6 months. We work quickly to meet the tight ~60-day filing deadline after you receive your assessment notice. While some complex cases may take longer (especially if they proceed to a full hearing), we push hard to secure resolutions as efficiently as possible.
What is the process for appealing a property assessment in Edmonton?
👉 Alberta Assessment Appeals Inc. handles the entire process for you.
We review your assessment notice, analyze the property data, gather supporting evidence (comparables, valuation analysis, etc.), prepare and file the formal complaint before the deadline, negotiate with the City of Edmonton, and represent you at the Composite Assessment Review Board (CARB) hearing if required. Our goal is to present a clear, strong, and professional case to achieve the best possible reduction in your assessed value.
Where do you work?
We focus on the City of Edmonton, St. Albert, and Parkland County (including Acheson). These are our core markets where we have strong local knowledge of assessment practices and the Assessment Review Boards.
