The City of Medicine Hat property tax assessors are out in various areas of the city reviewing property information required to complete both re-inspection cycles and annual assessments.

WHY DOES AN ASSESSOR WANT TO REVIEW MY PROPERTY INFORMATION?

• To assess new construction, renovations, changes, additions, demolitions, etc.
• To determine the condition and depreciation of your property
• To complete work necessary for annual assessments and re-inspection cycles, which ensures fair and equitable assessments

ASSESSORS WILL DO THE FOLLOWING WHEN THEY NEED TO REVIEW YOUR PROPERTY:

• Knock at your front door and introduce themselves.
• The assessor will be wearing a City of Medicine Hat photo identification card and can produce a business card upon request.
• Provide a reason for being at your property.
• May ask to come into your home to review the interior property information.
• If you are not home, the assessor will complete the exterior review.
• If necessary, the assessor will leave a business card with a number to call and set up an appointment for a review of the interior information.
