Why Property Taxes Can Often Be Reduced

In Alberta and many other jurisdictions, properties are assessed using mass appraisal methods. Mass appraisal allows municipalities to value large numbers of properties efficiently using shared data, models, and statistical testing.

However, every property is unique. Individual variables — such as location nuances, condition, functional obsolescence, income characteristics, or use — are often overlooked. These omissions frequently result in over-assessments.

CVG’s strong success rate in lowering assessments reflects our ability to identify these property-specific factors and apply detailed, evidence-based valuation analysis that municipalities may miss.
