Lacombe County mails out property tax assessments

Jun 28, 2020 | 3:12 PM

Property assessment and tax notices for residents of Lacombe County have been mailed out.

The County says they should be appearing in mailboxes in the coming week, but if you do not receive one by the end of June, contact the assessment department at 403-782-6601.

“We encourage ratepayers to be proactive and make sure their tax notice was received by Lacombe County,” says Michael Minchin, Director of Corporate Services. “This year’s property tax payment deadline has been extended to September 30, 2020 to better align with the education requisition deadline for non-residential properties.”

Property owners who miss the tax payment deadline will have a 6 per cent penalty applied on Oct. 1. An additional 10 per cent will be added Dec. 1.

Appeals must be received within 60 days of assessment.
