I wouldn't use Airdrie as an example. For a $450,000 home an Airdrie resident will pay almost $4,000 more in property taxes annually than a Calgary resident. It's actually funny how many people move to Airdrie because of the "cheaper homes" but pay the difference and more within the first 5 years of ownership due to property taxes that they never bothered to look in to.
