Where Calgary's 2026 property-tax money comes from
Each tower is one Calgary community. The taller the tower, the more property tax (city + provincial) the City expects to collect from that community in 2026. The skyscraper at the centre is the DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE at $472M — about 3× the next-tallest community (BELTLINE, $160M), and over 1,422,074× the smallest. That huge spread is why the map is 3D: most of the city’s property-tax money comes from a handful of very valuable places, and a flat coloured map would have hidden that.
Each tower’s top colour tells you who pays the tax in that community. Dark navy means almost all of it comes from non-residential property — office towers, shops, industrial buildings. Bright yellow means almost all of it comes from homes. Most of Calgary is yellow.

This map answers the resident-bill question: which communities generate the most property-tax revenue at the City’s 2026 mill rates. For the inverse — what share of total City revenue net municipal taxes actually represent, alongside the volatile and one-time lines that make up the rest — see alsosee the City-wide revenue mix.
Computed vs published — do the numbers match?+2.44%
Published figure is the citywide residential municipal tax revenue stated on calgary.ca/property-owners/taxes/bill-rate-calculation.html for 2026. A small residual is expected: published revenue is net of allowances and exemptions that are not visible at the parcel level.

A few rows are placeholder codes the City uses for parcels that don’t fit a named community. They’re kept here rather than dropped so the citywide total still adds up. Ward attribution comes from the City’s communities-by-ward table; communities the table doesn’t map appear with no ward.
