Purchasing or Selling a Property

The deadline for annual Property Tax payments is the last business day in June. All tax accounts not registered on the Tax Instalment Plan (TIP) are required to be paid by the payment deadline to avoid penalty. Balances remaining unpaid will be charged penalties per the Tax Penalty Bylaw

We strongly recommend that after tax notices are mailed any tax account balance is settled at the time of the sale/purchase. Please note that tax notices are not provided to new owners if ownership changes after the annual notice generation.

TIP Applications

  • Prior to completing a TIP Application, the applicant must be the registered owner with Alberta Land Titles, or provide a completed bill of sale for a manufactured home. Please note that ownership changes with Alberta Land Titles are typically updated in our system approximately 3 months from registration with land titles.
  • Due to time delays that can occur with Alberta Land Titles, it is recommended that taxes be settled at the time of sale/purchase. Since new owners are only able to register for the TIP program once they are registered through Alberta Land Titles, this may mean that an application will not be accepted until the following January.
  • The outstanding current balance will be divided equally among the remaining months in the calendar year. The account must not be in arrears.

What has not changed?

  • The TIP Application deadline is June 15.
  • Banking changes and cancellations must be submitted by the 15 of the month to be in effect prior to the withdrawal at the end of the month.
