What is the Alberta Government education tax rate?

The Government of Alberta increased its education tax for the Town of Ponoka by 11% for 2026 and 10.8% in 2025.

This equates to an increase this year of approximately $6.30 per $100,000 for residential properties and $13.89 per $100,000 for non-residential properties.

The education tax is responsible for a quarter of the increase in residential property taxes and more than one-third of non-residential property taxes.

With your annual property tax bill, the Town of Ponoka is required to collect the provincial education tax and send the funds directly to the Alberta Government.
