Property tax is calculated and billed annually using the property’s assessed value found on your property assessment notice and the
Council-approved property tax rate.
The money raised from property taxes is critical to fund municipal services. These services include policing and fire protection, infrastructure and roadways, recreation and community services, and planning and economic development.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to processing delay at the Alberta Land Titles Office, recent ownership and mailing address changes may not be reflected on Assessment Notices and Tax Bills. If you are a new property owner and have not received your notice, please contact the Taxation department to obtain a copy (email or phone 403-335-7724). Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties. |
