FAQ

The deadline to pay your 2025 property taxes for both residential and commercial properties is July 15, 2025 as per Bylaw No. 3-2025. If you are on pre-authorized payments however, your account will continue to be debited each month to bring your balance to 0 by December 31, 2025. 

Failure to remit payment for your property taxes by the July 15, 2025 deadline will result in a penalty of 12% being applied to all outstanding balances as of July 16, 2025. A subsequent penalty of 8% will be applied to all outstanding and/or remaining balances as of January 1, 2026 and another 4% on March 1, 2026. 

Yes. Failure to receive a tax notice does not preclude you from your responsibility to pay your taxes. If you did not receive a tax notice, it is your job to contact the Town of Vermilion administration office to request a copy. As per the Municipal Government Act, once mailed, your tax notice is considered to have been received within 7 days. 
It is currently taking 3-4 months for the Town of Vermilion to receive notification of property title changes from Alberta Land Titles. As a result, if you recently purchased a property, the Town may not have the correct information updated in our system. Please make sure to contact us as soon as possible to avoid penalties for non-payment. 

When you purchase a property, adjustments for taxes are made between the vendor and the purchaser. All charges on a tax account become the responsibility of the registered owner of the property. 

All property owners in Alberta (with some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and seniors lodge facilities) are required to pay the provincial education property tax, based on their property's assessed value. This tax revenue is collected by the Town of Vermilion and then transferred to the Alberta Government to be placed into the Alberta School Foundation Fund. This money is then distributed among Alberta's public and separate school boards on an equal per-student basis. 

Receipts are provided upon request only. If you wish to receive a copy of your receipt, please contact the Town of Vermilion administration office.

No. You may not appeal your property tax amount, you may only appeal your property's assessed value by following the appropriate assessment complaint process as outlined above. 

Any arrears on your tax notice are the result of prior year tax levies and penalties which have not been paid. These amounts will continue to be subject to additional penalties should they remain unpaid. Property owners with an account balance of 2 or more years of unpaid property taxes are subject to the tax arrears recovery process as per the Municipal Government Act. 

Any amounts on your tax notice are the result of accounts receivable invoices or utility account balances and penalties which have not been paid.
