Find out more about Edmonton’s annexation of land south of its existing boundary to accommodate future growth.
On January 1, 2019, two areas of land from Leduc County and the Town of Beaumont became part of Edmonton. Residents of those areas are now Edmontonians.
Information on the annexation application, timeline and public engagement is available below. Learn more about how the transition affects residents living in the annexed area.
The Land and Property Rights Tribunal is currently dealing with an issue delegated to them by the Minister of Municipal Affairs to decide whether there was an error in the original Order in Council by including a specific piece of land as part of the Discovery Lands (land that receives special property tax protection).
From 2012 to 2014, Edmonton grew by 7.4% or more than 60,000 people.
To ensure that we have enough land to accommodate growth, the City of Edmonton annexed land south of the boundary.
The annexed area includes 8,260 hectares agreed upon by Leduc County, and 7 hectares for part of the road right of way for 50 Street that was uncontested from the Town of Beaumont.
The Municipal Government Board held hearings on the application and made a recommendation to the Province. The Province made a decision to approve the annexation on November 27, 2018. The annexation took effect January 1, 2019.
The City of Edmonton will not be charging residents in the annexation area for dust suppression, and residents do not need to sign up for this service.
The City will be applying two applications of dust suppressant annually. The first application will be in June and the second application in August. Residents can report any concerns related to dust by calling 311.
The annexation application is made up of several documents, which are available below. A printed version of the annexation application is available at the City of Edmonton library, located on the 3rd floor of the Edmonton Tower.
