Combined property assessments and tax notices mailed out in Lacombe County

Property owners must pay their property taxes by August 31, 2026, and if not, a six per cent penalty will be applied on September 1. In addition, a 10 per cent penalty will be applied if the taxes aren’t paid by November 30.

In terms of assessment complaints, property owners will have 60 days from the Notice of Assessment date to file a complaint, which will be clearly identified on your notice.

Also, if you don’t receive your notice, the county says to contact them immediately.

“As with other online bill payments, processing delays may occur,” added Minchin. “Residents who plan to pay electronically should allow sufficient time to ensure payments are received by the County no later than the last business day in August to avoid penalties.”
