585,000 residential and non-residential property tax bills are in the mail, City of Calgary says

Calgary property owners can expect bills for taxes owed in their mailboxes soon.

The city says it mailed about 585,000 property tax bills on Wednesday.

These will be received by residential and non-residential property owners alike.

“Property tax is due Monday, June 30,” the city said.

“A late payment penalty of seven per cent will be applied to any unpaid portion of property tax on July 1.”

According to the city, property owners should have their tax bills by May 23.

If you’re expecting one and don’t receive it, call 311 ASAP.

The city says the due date and payment penalty apply regardless of whether a bill is received in the mail.

Property owners also have access to tax information online, at calgary.ca/mytax.

Payment options and property tax assistance program information are also accessible online, at calgary.ca/propertytax.

“We offer multiple ways for property owners to pay their tax bills; the most popular way is monthly, through the city’s Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP),” the city said.

“The property tax deadline doesn’t apply to property owners enrolled in TIPP by June 30.

“Property owners can join TIPP online quickly and easily by going to calgary.ca/TIPP and clicking on the ‘Join TIPP’ box.”
