City introduction

Leduc is a city in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, located along the CANAMEX Trade Corridor (Highway 2) south of Edmonton, beside Edmonton International Airport. The community traces back to 1889, when Robert Taylor Telford settled on land near a scenic lake and became the settlement's first postmaster, general merchant and justice of the peace. The settlement, first known as Telford, was renamed Leduc in 1899 in honour of Father Hippolyte Leduc. Leduc was incorporated as a village on December 15, 1899, became a town on December 15, 1906 and a city on September 1, 1983.

Long a major stopping point between Edmonton and Calgary with roots in agriculture, Leduc's modern era began on February 13, 1947, when oil was discovered at Leduc No. 1 — a discovery that reshaped both Leduc and Alberta's economy. The City describes a vibrant community built on that agriculture and oil-and-gas history, with air, rail and ground transportation connectivity.

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.

The chart uses the approved budget's tax revenue requirement increase: 3.8% for 2026 (an initial 6.3% forecast was lowered and is not used). A 2024 figure exists on a different scope — the average residential property tax increase of 4.5% under the 2024 Property Tax Bylaw — and because it measures an average home's bill rather than the City-wide revenue requirement, it is recorded in the trend table only and is not charted with the 2026 revenue figure. For 2025 the City published only a forecast (3.5%) and no final adopted figure, so 2025 is No data. The residential tax rate moved the other way: the 2026 rate is 0.006775, down 6.3% from 0.007233 in 2025 (see the separate note below). A falling rate does not mean a falling bill — the assessment base changed — and the rate is never mixed into the revenue series. The provincial education levy (about $26.5 million, about +13%) is separate.

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.

Data behind the chart

The data table below carries one row per year, in year order, with the tax increase, the inflation value and the CEER value for that year, or “No data” where a series has no verified figure.

Housing property-tax historical trend

The trend uses one measure only: the tax revenue requirement increase in the 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 per $1,000 of assessed value, converted from the decimal rate per $1 that the City publishes (the published decimal is given in the scope column):

Year	Rate per $1,000	Scope	Source
2025	7.233	residential rate; City publishes the rate as 0.007233 per $1 of assessed value	City of Leduc news, "Leduc City Council decreases residential property tax rate", https://www.leduc.ca/news/leduc-city-council-decreases-residential-property-tax-rate
2026	6.775	residential rate; City publishes the rate as 0.006775 per $1 of assessed value, down 6.3% from 2025 — a lower rate does not mean a lower bill (see Notes and gaps)	City of Leduc news, "Leduc City Council decreases residential property tax rate", https://www.leduc.ca/news/leduc-city-council-decreases-residential-property-tax-rate

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the tax revenue requirement increase in the 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 Leduc tax revenue requirement 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.

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