Property Tax

General Property Tax Information 

Property Tax pays for a wide variety of Municipal services including, but not limited to, the following:

• Emergency services such as Fire, Policing and Bylaw Services;
• Road maintenance including snow clearing and street sweeping;
• Recreational services and programs;
• Parks and green space maintenance; and
• Other community services and support

The cost of delivering these services, at a level determined by Council, forms the basis of each year's budget.

A portion of property taxes are also submitted to the Province to help fund the school system in Alberta. Another portion is submitted to Newell Foundation to fund senior's lodges.
