An estimated 25% of property tax in Edmonton goes directly to the Alberta government for EDUCATION, in 2025, and the city has no control over how it's spent.

Smith will do anything to get out of funding public education. Tim Cartmell wants to enable her.

Tim Cartmell believes the UCP doesn’t owe us anything. Remember this as the teachers strike and Smith doesn't pay her city taxes.

“They (UCP) don’t owe us (Edmontonians) anything. They used to benevolently give it to us, they've stopped,' he said Wednesday,
Councillor Cartmell

This is a real quote from a real Edmonton City Councillor in the Edmonton Journal defending her government not paying their property taxes to Edmonton.

She flies to Maralago to sell us out to Trump. He runs to the Legislature to sellout Edmontonians to her.

Your property tax bill includes municipal taxes, collected by the City to pay for City services, and provincial education taxes, which the City collects on behalf of the Province to fund public and separate schools.

These two taxes change at different rates each year, and are added together to make up the total tax amount property owners must pay.

A typical detached home, assessed at $465,500, will pay $394 per month in property taxes in 2025. Roughly 75% of this amount—or $296—will help pay for City services, and the remaining 25%—or $98—will go to the Government of Alberta to support education.
