Lacombe County tax notices in the mail

LACOMBE COUNTY- Municipal property tax notices were recently mailed out to Lacombe County ratepayers and should be appearing in mailboxes in the coming week.

If you do not receive your 2017 tax notice by the end of June, please contact Lacombe County’s Assessment Department at 403782-6601.

“We encourage ratepayers to be proactive and make sure their tax notice was received,” said Chief Assessor Larry Riep. “To avoid all penalties, tax payments must be received by last business day in August.”

Property owners who miss the tax payment deadline will have a 6% penalty applied on September 1, on the outstanding taxes owing.

An additional 10% penalty will be added on December 1 for all taxes remaining unpaid after November 30.

Property tax payments can be made at the property owner’s financial institution or through online banking, as well as in-person at the Lacombe County Administration Office, or by mail.

If sending payments by mail, property owners must ensure that their payments are postmarked by Canada Post by August 31, in order to avoid late penalties.

The above due date and penalties DO NOT APPLY to ratepayers enrolled in the Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP), which allows property taxes to be paid on a monthly basis instead of at one time.

Application forms for enrollment are available at the Lacombe County Administration office or on the Lacombe County website at www.lacombecounty.com/.
