Canmore moves forward on livability tax updates tied to housing funding
Tuesday, May 19, 2026 · Canmore, AB
On May 19, Town of Canmore council updated the Division of Class 1 Property Bylaw to align with Alberta’s recent changes, exempting individual Albertans from the Livability Tax Program for the current tax year and advancing the next steps toward a tax rate bylaw expected on May 26. The town says the program is intended to support housing and affordability initiatives, so these policy changes may be relevant for buyers, sellers, and homeowners watching local tax and housing funding decisions.
