If you’ve got questions about your property tax assessment, help is on the way this week.
The Town of Rocky Mountain House is inviting residents to speak directly with the town’s assessor on Thursday April 17 at town office. It says property owners can also book a one-on-one appointment by calling 403-845-2866, and walk-ins will be accommodated as available.
Assessment notices were mailed out on Feb. 21, and residents have until April 30 to file an appeal if they believe their property assessment is inaccurate.
By law, the town only collects enough taxes to cover the part of its budget not paid for by user fees or government grants.
Property tax notices will be mailed in early June, with payment due by the last business day in July. Property owners who fail to pay on time may face late penalties — even if they didn’t receive their bill.
Officials remind residents to update their mailing addresses both with the town and Alberta Land Titles to ensure they receive all correspondence.
Last year, the town approved a two per cent tax increase for 2025, which will raise the average residential bill by about $69 annually. Non-residential property owners will see a range of increases depending on property type.
The 2025 operating budget is set at $28,042,892, marking an increase of nearly $1.16 million from 2024.
