TaxFight
TaxFight is live but not open for business yet. The screener runs against the City of Calgary's live assessment data, so everything it tells you about a real address is real. Checkout is not connected (a database, Stripe keys, a Resend key), so nothing can be bought and no card can be charged.

Pricing

Per property, per year. Nothing is offered until the screener has looked at your property and found something worth fighting.

Nothing to lose

$0 up front

  • 40 percent of the first year tax reduction.
  • If your assessment does not come down, you pay nothing at all.
  • Offered only where the estimated saving is large enough to be worth running.

Split it

$59 plus GST, up front

  • Then 20 percent of the first year tax reduction.
  • The $59 is not refundable.
  • Cheaper than the free tier once the annual saving passes $295.

If we do not get your assessment reduced, your next appeal in January is free. This is not a refund of what you paid this year. It applies to Split it and Keep it all.

Which one is actually cheaper

It depends on one number, and we would rather you knew it than guessed. Below an annual saving of $295, Nothing to lose costs you less. Above it, Split it costs you less. At exactly $295 they cost the same.

That is arithmetic, not a sales pitch: $59 divided by the difference between the two contingency rates. The screener shows you your own estimate, so you can work out which side of the line you are on.

Filing it yourself

If you would rather do this alone, the Evidence Report is $79 plus GST. You get the comparable table, the gaps, every error we found in your record, the wording to put on the complaint form, a script for the call with the assessor, and your deadlines. You file it, you keep everything.

It is a real alternative to hiring us, and we would rather sell it to you than take a contingency on a file you could have run yourself.

The board's fee is not our fee

The Assessment Review Board charges $50 to file a residential complaint, or $40 if it arrives before January 31. You pay that to the board directly. We never hold it and we never front it.

If the board decides in your favour, or if the assessor corrects every issue under complaint and the complaint is withdrawn before the hearing, the filing fee is refunded to you.

Commercial and multi-family

Four or more dwelling units, or any non-residential property, is a different business with a different board, a different fee ($650 per roll number) and different deadlines. It is pure contingency at 40 percent, delivered by a senior agent. Tell us about the property and we will come back to you.

GST

Every price here is before GST. GST is added at checkout as its own line.
