Paying Property Taxes

Property tax notices were sent in May and payment was due June. 30. 

To support community members affected by COVID-19 and the April flood, in 2020 property tax payments could be deferred until Sept. 30. In addition to deferring payments, the initial late penalty and penalties on outstanding balances have been waived until Oct. 1, 2020, with further late penalties being waived for the remainder of the year. 

Property taxes may be paid by any of these options. 

Online

You may use the RMWB's Online Payment Portal to pay your taxes.

Through your bank

  • Internet banking using the Tax Account Number or the Tax Roll Number printed on your bill
  • In person at any Canadian chartered bank, Alberta Treasury Branch or Servus Credit Union

Payment plan

If you would prefer to pay your taxes by convenient automatic monthly withdrawals from your bank account, you can sign up for the Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP).

To apply for TIPP, complete and sign the TIPP Application Form and return it along with a “VOID” cheque to the email address or mailing address shown in the yellow box on this page.

Mail

Send a cheque or money order (do not send cash) and enclose the “return portion” of your tax bill. The envelope must be postmarked before midnight, on the due date noted on your tax notice or late payment penalties will be added. Please make cheques payable to the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Assessment and Taxation Office
3rd Floor - 9909 Franklin Avenue
Fort McMurray, AB T9H 2K4

Post-dated cheques

To avoid last minute lineups, the Municipality will accept cheques that are post-dated up to and including June 29. Payments made by mail must be postmarked no later than the due date noted on your tax notice in order to avoid penalties.

Please make cheques payable to the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Mortgage company payments

If you pay principle, interest and taxes (P.I.T.) to your mortgage company, then the company will receive an invoice for your taxes. You will receive the original tax bill for your records.

The property tax bill will show an abbreviated name of your mortgage company and your mortgage number. If the mortgage company name does not appear on the bill, and you believe you pay P.I.T., please contact your mortgage company immediately.

Late payment penalties

In 2020, late payment penalties will be applied to any outstanding balance of property taxes by the schedule below. Please note, that it's expected that late penalties in 2021 will be applied by the previous schedule, which sees the first late penalty applicable on July 1.
