FAQs
Why is the city sending out residential preview letters?
To inform residential property owners of their proposed assessed values for 2027 and provide an opportunity to discuss concerns with assessment staff before values are finalized.
Why didn’t I receive a preview letter?
Only certain types of residential properties are eligible for the preview program. Multi-unit, multi-use, commercial and vacant land property types are not eligible.
How can I prepare for the telephone appointment?
- Be prepared to discuss your property’s current condition and attributes
- Provide any appraisals/estimates of property value from a professional appraiser or realtor
- Provide any repair estimates/invoice amounts for major repairs (does not include general repair and maintenance items)
- Present sales of similar properties that sold on or before April 1, 2025, including address, sale price and sale date
- Comparisons of assessments are not evidence of market value and therefore cannot be considered by assessment staff
What is the Reference Date?
The Provincially mandated reference date for the 2027 General Assessment is April 1, 2025. In other words, the 2027 market value represents the expected selling price of that property on April 1, 2025.
What is the median residential market value change from 2025 General Assessment to 2027 General Assessment?
The median assessed value change for residential properties ranges from 6% to 18% depending on market region.
How will the change in my assessment affect my 2027 property taxes?
The 2027 tax rates are unknown until early 2027 when City Council, the school divisions, and the Province of Manitoba set their various budgets. The 2027 tax bills mailed out in May 2027 will indicate tax amounts owed based on these rates.
It is important to remember that an increase in the market value does not necessarily result in a proportionate increase in the level of property taxes.
How do I access residential sales information?
Self Service – Residential sales information provides access to residential sales information.
I was unable to make a telephone appointment but have questions about my proposed assessed value?
If there are no telephone appointments available or the telephone appointment period has ended, please wait until you receive your 2027 assessment notice in June 2026. At that time, you can speak to assessment staff by contacting 311.
Property owners may also file for a formal review of the 2027 Assessment through the Board of Revision between June 4 and June 29, 2026.
