Sign up for monthly tax payments by June 15
Red Deer property owners have only a few days left to sign up for The City of Red Deer’s Tax Instalment Plan (TIP) before the deadline on June 15.
Through the TIP program, property owners can sign up to divide their property tax bill into equal monthly payments for the remainder of the year. For those that sign up by June 15, their 2021 tax bill will be divided into seven equal payments from June to December.
“The TIP program is great, and very popular. In early May, we had just over 40 per cent of property owners signed up, with many more since then,” said Roxane Preedin, Controller – Property Taxation. “Aside from easy monthly payments, one of the great benefits is the extended time to pay off your property taxes without penalties.”
Payments are setup as automatic withdrawals from the property owner’s bank account. Each month, payments are collected at the end of the month and, so long as the owner meets their payment obligations, tax penalties do not apply.
