Property taxes due in Lethbridge June 30

Jun 23, 2022 | 11:02 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB ­– The City of Lethbridge is reminding property owners that 2022 property taxes are due on June 30, 2022.

Property owners who did not yet receive their 2022 Tax Notice should call 311.

Due to delays at the Alberta Land Title Office, owners may have taken possession of a property but have not yet registered a title. They are asked to contact the City of Lethbridge for a copy of their tax notice but must have a Statement of Adjustments to prove their ownership.

A 7% penalty will be applied to all unpaid 2022 tax balances as of July 1, 2022. Penalties for late payments will still apply even if owners did not receive a Tax Notice.

Multiple payment options are available, including by:

Week-in-review: Federal Budget, water agreements and success for tourism industry

The Tax Instalment Prepayment Plan (TIPP) is a program in which property taxes can be paid over a specified number of months, instead of making one large payment in June. It provides a 1.25% annual discount credit. Property owners who paid their 2022 taxes in full can sign up for TIPP before July 20, 2022 to prepay for their 2023 property taxes. Visit the City of Lethbridge TIPP webpage for more information.

The 0% property tax increase remains intact. However, residents may still see a tax increase on their bills for other reasons, such as a change to their property assessment or a change in taxes collected by the Government of Alberta for the education tax and the Green Acres Foundation budget.
