Property tax
Important information for 2022
Due to processing delays at the Province of Alberta Land Titles Office, recent ownership and mailing address changes were not reflected on the property tax bills mailed in late May.
The City of Calgary is not responsible for delays. Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties.
The Alberta Government introduced a Property Tax Late Penalty Reimbursement. If you recently purchased property, did not receive a tax notice, and paid a late payment penalty, you may be eligible for reimbursement. You are still responsible for ensuring your outstanding property tax is paid in full. The Government of Alberta will not reimburse additional late penalties incurred for non-payment. Visit www.alberta.ca/property-tax-late-penalty-reimbursement for more information.
