The City of Winnipeg says the federal government owes $6.7 million in unpaid property taxes for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

City finance chairman Marty Morantz says the dispute is over the assessed value of the building.

The city believes the value is around $100 million, while Ottawa's estimate is $30 million.

The project cost about $350 million to complete.

Morantz says the city has filed an appeal with a federal organization that deals with tax assessments.
