Happy New Year Ward 2!
As we start 2025, I want to share a few important updates that matter to households across our community.
Review Your 2026 Property Assessment
Property assessments arrive on January 14, and the Customer Review Period runs until March 23. Your assessment helps determine your share of property taxes, and this is your chance to confirm that your assessment is accurate and reflects real market value. When reviewing, check that the value is reasonable as of July 1, 2025, confirm that the property details are correct, and compare your assessment with similar homes in your neighbourhood.
You can estimate your 2026 bill at calgary.ca/taxcalculator. For detailed property information and comparison tools, log in at calgary.ca/mytax. Questions can be directed to 3-1-1 or calgary.ca/assessment.
Nominate a Neighbour for the Calgary Awards
Do you know a Ward 2 resident, group, or business making a meaningful impact? Consider nominating them for a Calgary Award. Categories include Community Advocate, Youth, Arts, Education, Accessibility, Environmental Achievement, and more. Nominations close January 26 at calgary.ca/calgaryawards.
Stay Safe Around Storm Ponds
Storm ponds may look frozen, but ice conditions on them are never safe. Water levels change constantly and contaminants weaken the ice. Please keep children and pets away. For safe winter activities and outdoor rinks, visit calgary.ca/winteractivities and calgary.ca/rinks.
Prevent Frozen Household Water Lines
Frozen pipes can cause major damage, but simple steps can reduce the risk. Keep your thermostat set to at least 15°C, seal cold drafts in basements and crawl spaces, insulate exposed pipes, and disconnect exterior hoses. Allow warm air to circulate around plumbing and run water regularly. More information is available at calgary.ca/frozenpipes.
Thank you for staying informed. My office is here to support you throughout the year, and you can always reach us at [email protected].
