The city assessment department posted a searchable assessment database last week, but officially posted notices on Thursday.

Those should begin arriving with Hat property owners ahead of tax rate adjustment by city council in May that will finalize tax bills.

City council last December approved a 5.6 per cent municipal property tax increase as part of adopting the 2025-26 city budget.

It calls for an additional $5 million in tax revenue, and would add about $130 to the tax bill of average single-family residential property.

The deadline to appeal individual assessment amounts is May 13.

Taxes are due June 30.
