PROPERTY TAX LATE PENALTY REIMBURSEMENT
The Alberta Government is providing a penalty relief program to ratepayers. This is a reimbursement of late payment penalties due to being a new property owner and the ongoing delays with Land Titles document registration processing times.
If you recently purchased property, did not receive a tax notice from your municipality, and paid a late payment penalty, you may be eligible for reimbursement.
The onus is on the ratepayer to apply, please click on the link to Property Tax Late Penalty Reimbursement for information.
