You pay your property taxes to the Summer Village of Seba Beach. But did you know that some of your property taxes are actually a tax by the Alberta government? And the Alberta government significantly increased that tax in 2025?

Council has no control over the provincial property tax. Our Summer Village collects those tax dollars and sends them to the Alberta government for their use. When the province increases its property tax, Summer Village council is forced to consider whether the combined increase of the provincial tax and municipal tax is affordable to residents. If needed, council may choose to lower the municipal property tax but that may not leave the Summer Village with enough money to take care of things like local roads, sidewalks, and community buildings in the long term.

We need to have a conversation about how Alberta's local community services are funded and what taxes are collected by each government. ABmunis' ‘Property Taxes Reimagined: Fair Funding for Strong Communities’ has been created to help Albertans understand how property taxes are structured.
