Thanks for including a useful graph in your second post, as opposed to the pointless comparison of tax rates.
It's hard to present a table of numbers as you need to do a number of different comparisons using data for the same year. Back in 2010 the City of Edmonton conducted such a study to get a more accurate picture of how they compared to other cities in the nation. Have a look at the criteria they used to get a good idea of why you can't just use property tax when doing these comparisons.

There was another such study done about three years ago or so but I can't recall who did the research. That study claimed Calgary had the fourth highest costs for homeowners among large Canadian cities.
