Municipal governments, including The City of Calgary, levy municipal property taxes to help pay for the services they provide. Alberta municipalities are also required to bill and collect property tax on behalf of the Province of Alberta. Find out Where Your Tax Dollars Go

Billed to the property owner each May, property tax is calculated using your property's annual assessed value, as found on your assessment notice, and the property tax rate approved by Council.
Your property tax bill is due June 30. A seven per cent penalty (7%) is added July 1 and again on October 1 to any unpaid balance. This means, for every $2,000 in outstanding taxes, it would cost $140 in penalty. For payment options and important reminders see Property Tax Payment Information.
How Do I Get a Copy of My Property Tax Bill?
If you have not received your property tax bill by the first week of June, please e-mail us at property.tax@calgary.ca and include your name, property address and daytime phone number.
Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties.
Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)
The Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) is a popular program which allows you to pay your property taxes on a monthly basis instead of one payment in June. By participating in TIPP you don't need to worry about the June 30 due date or late payment penalties. Use one of our secure online forms to: request a TIPP application, change TIPP banking information or terminate TIPP.
Property Tax Assistance Programs
The City of Calgary's Property Tax Assistance Program may provide a credit/rebate to assist low-income homeowners, regardless of age. The Province of Alberta also provides assistance through their Property Tax Assistance for Seniors Program.
