Some Edmonton homeowners are shocked by significant increases in their property assessments. The median assessed value for detached homes rose by over $35,000 from the previous year, with some residents reporting increases as high as $80,000 since 2021, despite no renovations. While the City's assessments are influenced by factors like location, square footage, and the housing market, real estate professionals warn that they aren't always accurate. Experts suggest that homeowners concerned about discrepancies should consult a realtor and consider appealing their assessments by the March 19th deadline.
