Council approved its 2025 property tax bill on Tuesday , the last step before the city is legally allowed to collect taxes this year .

Council approved a 3.6 per cent overall property tax increase in its yearly budget deliberations in November .

Council had to wait until the province released its budget in late February before approving the tax bylaw.

The city assessor predicted the amount could be roughly $10 million .

The city’s property tax bills will be mailed out May 12 .

The requisition will fund about one-third of education operating costs this year .

“This is an attempt to distract Calgarians from the fact that they are raising their property taxes for the fourth year in a row ,” says a provincial government spokesperson.
