Saddle Hills County has appointed Aaron Steblyk with Compass Assessment as the new Assessor for Saddle Hills County. We are currently making some changes to the delivery of Assessment Services in the County and thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we navigate this transition period. More information will be provided, as available.
A reminder to ratepayers, that a 6% penalty will be applied to outstanding 2024 property taxes, on November 1, 2024. To avoid this penalty, please have all outstanding payments into our office by October 31, 2024.
Council creates internal Boards and Committees related to specific issues affecting the community. These dedicated groups, comprised of appointed Councillors and members of the community, research and provide insight on current problems and help to develop solutions, passing their recommendations to Council for review.
Council also appoints Councillors to sit on a variety of external Boards and Committees, such as with partner organizations and neighbouring municipalities, to gather knowledge and provide insight on issues affecting Saddle Hills County.
If you are interested in learning more about each of the internal Boards and Committees at Saddle Hills County, please review our Reference Summary for Boards and Committees.
Each Councillor and Member-at-Large sits on their Board or Committee for a set term, the shortest being 1-year. Every year, we recruit for community members to sit as Members-at-Large on the Boards where members terms are coming to an end. If you are interested in getting involved, please complete an Application for Member-at-Large Position. The dates for submissions will be advertised each year in advance of the deadline, on our website, social media, and in local media.
Should you have any other questions about our Boards and Committees or would like to speak to someone directly, please get in touch at (780) 864-3760 or email admin@saddlehills.ab.ca
