Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)
The Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) allows eligible ratepayers to spread their annual property tax amount over 12 equal monthly payments, automatically withdrawn from your bank account on either the 1st or 15th of each month.
👉 Apply online using the TIPP Application Form to check eligibility.
How TIPP Works
•    The TIPP year runs from January to December.
•    The first payment is withdrawn in January.
•    You may join TIPP at any time during the year. 
•    Late enrollments may require an initial lump sum payment to cover missed months.
•    Payments from January to June are based on the previous year’s tax levy.
•    Any changes to the current year’s levy are adjusted over the final six payments (July–December).
•    An updated payment amount notification will be emailed on or before June.
•    This process ensures your TIPP account has a zero balance by December.

How to Join TIPP
Step 1: Check Eligibility
•    Submit the TIPP Application Form to confirm eligibility and receive an estimated monthly payment amount.
You may also apply:
•    In person at the County office
•    By phone: 780 864 3760
Step 2: Review Your Agreement
•    Our Taxation Clerk will review the terms and conditions of your agreement with you.
Step 3: Sign and Enroll
To complete enrollment, you must:
•    Sign the TIPP agreement.
•    Provide a void cheque or direct withdrawal form.
•    Pay any required initial lump sum amount (separate from monthly payments).
Canceling Your TIPP
To cancel your TIPP enrollment, you must provide notice at least 10 business days before your next scheduled payment.
•    Cancellation requests can be submitted using the TIPP Application Form.
•    If notice is received within 10 business days, the next payment will still be withdrawn, and cancellation will take effect afterward.
•    A notice of cancellation is required for all reasons, including selling your property.
