Welcome!

Situated in the Central Peace Country of northwestern Alberta, Saddle Hills County is located approximately 450 kilometres north of Edmonton and only 90 kilometres from Grande Prairie. The County is a medium-sized local government that offers abundant opportunities. Home to a diverse agricultural community, Saddle Hills County also contains rich deposits of natural gas and oil for which Alberta is so well known.

With the beautiful Peace River Valley forming our northern boundary and the Saddle Hills to the south, we offer picturesque landscapes filled with stunning contrasts and abundant wildlife. Elk, moose and deer are just a few of the wild animals that roam our deep river valleys, lush wooded hillsides and rolling plains.

2010 Tax Payments

Saddle Hills County landowners are reminded that July 31, 2010 is the deadline for payment of 2010 property taxes, in order to qualify for the 3% discount

Community Calendar

Saddle Hills County has developed Community Calendars and they are now available for pick up at the County Administration building. Due to costs, there will be one calendar available to each household, however, if extras are wanted, they will be available for a nominal fee. As a cost saving measure for this project, the County will not be mailing out any of the calendars so any County rate payer who has paid their taxes via the internet or by mailing their payment in, and wishes to have a community calendar, is asked to stop by the Office.

Saddle Hills County Municipal Development Plan

Saddle Hills County with the assistance of ISL Engineering and Land Services is preparing new Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The purpose of an MDP is to provide a “big picture” land use planning framework to guide long term development decisions.  Public input is critical to the process as it ensures that future policies reflect the interests and needs of the community.

The MDP will establish a policy framework and future land use concept that reflects the collective vision of the citizens of Saddle Hills County on a variety of issues such as the type, level and pattern of development, as well as smart growth principles.  As a critical policy document for guiding future growth and development, the MDP will strive to balance the views expressed by all stakeholders in the planning process.
