Calgary's tax increase could be half Edmonton's

Score one for Calgary.

While Edmontonians could be clobbered with a 10.9% property tax hike in the new year, our Cowtown cousins are being asked to pony up less than half that – 4.5%.

In Alberta the province has been bleeding the cities for years. In Calgary my house was $500 a month in property tax in 2001. In BC the property taxes are 1/10 if you live in the country and have a hobby farm. My taxes are less than $900 a year on a home worth more than my Calgary place. Last one out turn out the lights is changing to Alberta. No homeowners grant, no seniors grant, no farm status tax the well off and they will all leave. In BC you never have to pay tax if you are over 65 you can differ until you die.
