Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I being charged a penalty when I didn't receive my tax notice?
Tax Notices are sent to the mailing address recorded at the Alberta Land Titles Office and it is the property owner's responsibility to keep the Land Titles record accurate. Under the Municipal Government Act, once mailed, the tax notice is considered to have been received within seven days. In June of each year, the Town of Vermilion advertises on our website and in the newspaper, reminding property owners that taxes are due. It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure taxes are paid by the due date.
I have owned the property for only a few months, why am I being billed for the full year?
All charges on a tax account become the responsibility of the registered owner of the property. When you purchase a property, adjustments for taxes are made between the vendor and the purchaser.
