The Government of Alberta has introduced a new assessment complaint system for the entire province starting in 2010.

Highlights of the New Legislation

• Now you have 60 days between receiving your assessment notice to the date your complaint has to be filed

• New complaint form and agent authorization forms must be used and filled out completely

• New requirements have been introduced for the sharing of information prior to the hearing

•  A Local Assessment Review Board (LARB) has been created to hear matters that are shown on an assessment notice for residential property with 3 or fewer dwelling units and farmland

• A Composite Review Board (CARB) has been created to hear all other matters

• Appeals of decisions of both boards are now only to the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench. There is no longer a right to appeal to the Municipal Government Board

If you have a concern about your assessment, or any information shown on your assessment is incorrect please feel free to contact the Legislative Services Department at 780-623-6740.

All complaints must be filed on the complaint form and be accompanied by the current filing fee.
