Is the assessment fair?+14% vs similar nearby
Assessed 14% above similar properties nearby

Compared with the median of similar properties (same property type, within 600 m, built within 10 years, lot size within 30%): $6,495,000. Assessments reflect value on July 1 of the year before, so check recent sales too. A higher assessment isn't wrong by itself; a bigger house or a renovation explains a lot.

Worth a closer look. Start by talking to a City assessor during the customer review period after notices go out in January. If that doesn't resolve it, file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board by the date on your notice. The fee is $50 for homes with three or fewer units and $650 for other property.

Flood mapsFlood Fringe
Flood FringeLand that floods in a 1-in-100 flood, more shallowly than the floodway. Flood-proofing rules apply to new work.
Outside the June 2013 flood extentNot in the area the City mapped as flooded in 2013.
Alberta's provincial flood map
High Hazard Flood Fringe · Bow RiverPart of the flood fringe where a 1-in-100 flood would be deeper or faster than in the rest of the fringe. From the Bow and Elbow River Flood Study.

The province updated the Bow and Elbow maps in 2025, and they can differ from the City's bylaw map above. The City's map is the one its land use rules use today. “Regulated” flows include the effect of upstream dams and reservoirs; “naturalized” flows leave them out.

The City's maps are checked against the whole lot, the provincial map against the lot's centre. Sewer backup and overland water from storms aren't on these maps, so ask about a backwater valve and past claims.

Outside the City's landfill setback areasNot inside a mapped setback around an active or closed City landfill.
Abandoned oil and gas wells: check before you buildParts of Calgary sit on old wells. Building sites must stay at least 5 m from an abandoned well (Alberta Energy Regulator Directive 079), and subdivision and development permit applications need an Abandoned Well Declaration. This brief can't check wells automatically yet because the regulator's data can't be reused commercially without permission.Look the lot up on the Alberta Energy Regulator's public map or GeoDiscover Alberta's abandoned well viewer.
HailCalgary sees some of Canada's most damaging hail. The August 5, 2024 storm caused nearly $2.8 billion in insured damage, the second-costliest insured event in Canadian history. Ask how old the roof is, whether it uses impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles, what siding is on the house, and about past hail claims and the insurance deductible.
RadonIn a University of Calgary study, 12.4% of 2,382 Calgary-area homes tested from 2013 to 2016 were at or above Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m³. A three-month test in the lowest lived-in floor is the only way to know, and fixes are usually a sub-slab fan system.
