Tax and Assessment
Looking for the size of a lot? How about it's assessed value? Perhaps land use zoning
is what you need? Well then you have come to the right place! Our speedy Property Search Tool can help!
Our Tax Clerk is available to answer questions regarding your property
tax and assessment. The Town does not have an assessor on staff but the Tax Clerk
can arrange for you to speak to the contract assessor. A guide to property assessment
and taxation in Alberta is available from the Municipal Affairs Website. This publication
provides excellent information for property owners on the assessment and taxation
process in Alberta and the complaint procedure. Municipal Affairs Website:
