The Town of Crossfield assesses property based on provincial legislation and regulations. The standard process in Alberta is determined by the “market value assessment”.
The assessment is done by a provincially accredited independent assessor. The Town’s Administration and Council do not have the legal authority to change this assessment.
Market value assessments are done using mass appraisal models (the expression of supply and demand factors and the interaction in the real estate market), which determine property values by grouping similar properties as of a specific date.
The 2026 assessment is an estimate of a property’s market value as of July 1, 2025, and reflects the characteristics and physical condition of the improvements on December 31, 2025.
The purpose of the assessment is not to reflect a single sale price, but to assess all properties at typical market value on the same valuation date.
