Still a little confused on the whole purchasing a residence in Tasa. If you don’t own the the actual land, only the structure itself. What is attraction to purchasing there? Is there deep discount in purchase price compared to other developments nearby?? If not then i dont see any benefit to owning a home without the land it sits on.

I think it would be a 99 year lease.

I'm more curious how municipal elections work? Do the residents of Taza get to vote for leaders on the Tsuu Tina Council? Or do they vote for leaders for that represent Taza similar to how a condo board elects a president? Or do they get to vote at all at the municipal level?

Also, how does the property tax structure work? Do they get to access Calgary garbage, compost and recycling services? Do they have their own road maintenance crew?
 
Got this from an ad on ig. Looks like there could be a high rise in Taza park. Even though it’s just conceptual, I thought it was pretty cool

Crystal Creek set to launch major Calgary Taza Park condo development

A new multifamily development featuring 345 condominium units across two six-storey buildings is launching at Taza Park, as developers look to expand housing options and attract buyers to the fast-growing southwest Calgary community on Tsuut’ina Nation land.

More information on Black Birch Heights. It will be 2 buildings, and 345 units in total.

It's a 99-year lease, like University District. If they don't want to renew the lease after 99 years then you get fair market compensation. I think you pay taxes to the band council which I think means you do not vote in municipal elections. I'm going to email them and ask. Because how does schooling work if you have children?
 
I messaged TAZA, they said...

Residents pay property taxes directly to the Taza Township. These taxes support the Township's operating budget and are reinvested into the community, funding local services and infrastructure, stewardship and governance, long-term community management, and Police, Fire, and Rescue.

As for schooling, Taza is working with the Government of Alberta and local school boards to ensure easy access for families. Taza students can attend schools within the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) or the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD), and Tsuut'ina and Taza are currently working with the province and boards to confirm the designated schools for Taza residents.

I don't think residents would vote in municipal elections but I'm not sure so I asked.

I am certain that the provincial government will do an excellent job ensuring that schools are built when are they are needed, as they do in all greenfield communities. Definitely not after the bulk of kids are passed high school age and require being bussed elsewhere.

I think they aren't building anything in TAZA, kids will just go to adjacent community schools.

Probably correct as an answer - but not correct as a development strategy. At least try to get kids to walk to or get to school easily without parental drives or expensive bus programs. Not willing to accept the status quo as the norm moving forward
