City introduction

Beaumont began as a French colony in 1895. The founding land was assembled the year before — 10 acres purchased from the Hudson's Bay Company plus 20 acres donated — and St. Vital Church, completed in the spring of 1895, anchored the new hamlet (the church burned in 1918 and was rebuilt in 1919). Beaumont was incorporated as a village on January 1, 1973, became a town on January 1, 1980 and a city on January 19, 2019, and it retains its bilingual French-English identity.

Beaumont is one of Alberta's fastest-growing cities: the City ranked it the province's third-fastest-growing city over 2016–2021, and the 2021 federal census counted 20,888 residents, an almost 50% increase over the decade. The city also grew physically, with a major annexation of land to the north, west and south on January 1, 2017.

Scope notes

All figures are the municipal portion only. The provincial education tax, which the municipality collects for the Province of Alberta and which forms a large part of an Alberta tax bill, is a separate levy with its own changes; it is not part of this series and is never added to the municipal figure.

Beaumont's series is the tax levy increase in each year's approved budget documents, in the City's wording for that year: the 2015–2019 figures are from the Historical Tax Increases table in the approved 2021 Budget (corroborated by the 2020 Budget), the 2020–2023 figures are the total increases in each approved budget's Municipal Tax Levy Increase table (in 2021 the components netted to 0%), and 2024–2026 are the approved levy/revenue increases announced for those budgets. For 2026 the approved tax revenue increase is 4.79%; an initial deliberation figure of 8.87% was lowered and is not used. A sample home assessed at $500,000 pays municipal tax of $3,603.95 in 2026, up from $3,439.21 in 2025 (+$164.74 per year). The provincial education amount for that sample home ($1,249.92 to $1,425.23) is separate and is not part of this series.

A year shown as “No data” has no bar for property tax and no line point for that series. A missing year breaks a line: no line segment crosses a gap, and no value is interpolated. Inflation for 2026 is not yet published as an annual average. Each Canadian dollar Real CEER value is the annual average of the 12 monthly total Real CEER values from the Bank of Canada (a computed annual average, not a figure the Bank publishes directly as an annual value). CEER is an index on a separate right axis and is not a percentage. CEER for 2026 is No data because the year is incomplete.

Housing property-tax historical trend

The trend uses one measure only: the tax levy increase in each year's approved budget. Each row is the figure for that year on that one measure. A year with no verified figure on that measure is shown as No data.

Separate note — tax rates, not the trend

This note is separate from the trend above and is not part of it. A residential tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value can move even when the levy increase is small, because the assessment base changes. Rate figures are therefore not used as the trend and are not mixed into the increase chart.

Residential rate from the City's tax rate bylaw, in mills (per $1,000 of assessed value). Only the 2026 bylaw rate was verified:

Year	Rate per $1,000	Scope	Source
2026	6.759143	residential rate, 2026 Tax Rate Bylaw (mills = per $1,000 of assessed value), municipal portion	City of Beaumont, 2026 Tax Rate Bylaw

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the tax levy increase in each year's approved budget.

Where a city publishes an increase as components, the components are recorded in the scope notes; a total is used only where the city itself publishes it.

Canada inflation is Statistics Canada, Table 18-10-0005-01, CPI annual average. Canadian dollar Real CEER is Bank of Canada, Valet series CEER_BROADM, total index (1999=100); each value is the annual average of the 12 monthly total Real CEER values (a computed annual average, not a figure the Bank publishes directly as an annual value).

How to read this page

Bars are the Beaumont approved tax levy increase. Lines are Canada inflation and Canadian dollar Real CEER.

The left axis is a percentage axis shared by the bars and the inflation line. The right axis is a separate index axis for Canadian dollar Real CEER only. CEER is an index and is not a percentage.

A year shown as “No data” has no bar for property tax and no line point for that series, and a missing year breaks a line. A verified 0% increase sits at the zero line and is marked “0% (verified)”.

Tax rates per $1,000 are separate from the trend and are not charted.
