Paying Property Taxes

Property taxes may be paid using the options listed below. Please note that payment by mail is not advised for summer 2025, as the Canada Post labour dispute may disrupt and delay delivery. 

Property tax notices are sent in May and payment is due on the last business day in June each year.

 

Property tax payment options 

Online
You may use the RMWB's Online Payment Portal to pay your taxes via credit card.  Please note - this service is administered by a 3rd party provider and a percentage convenience fee is charged by the provider to cover their payment handling and processing charges.
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
In person
Payments can be paid in person at Jubilee Centre, as well as rural contact offices. In-person service will be available Monday to Friday between the regular business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  
  • You cannot pay property tax in person with a credit card.

  • You can pay taxes in person by cash, debit card or cheque. (Be a​ware of your daily withdrawal limit when using your debit card.)
Payment plan
Pay your taxes through convenient automatic monthly withdrawals from your bank account. Sign up for the Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP). Payments are automatically withdrawn from your chequing account on the first of each month, which prevents added penalties.

To apply for the TIPP, visit pay.rmwb.ca to complete our online application. Or you can complete and sign the TIPP Application Form and return it along with a “VOID” cheque to the email address or mailing address indicated on the form.

To cancel your TIPP or change your banking information, go to pay.rmwb.ca and click on the link that says “Change/Cancel Pre-Authorized Tax Payments”. Changing or cancelling your TIPP does not change or cancel your Tax account and must be done at least 10 business days before the next pre-authorized payment withdrawal is due. If you cancel your TIPP all unpaid taxes become due immediately and are subject to penalties in accordance with Municipal penalty bylaws.

For questions or help with setting up your TIPP, cancelling your TIPP or changing your banking information, contact us by emailing assessment.taxation@rmwb.ca or call Pulse.

Mortgage company payments

If you pay PIT (principle, interest & taxes) to your mortgage company and your mortgage number is missing from your tax notice, please contact your mortgage company directly to verify or arrange for payment. It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure property taxes are paid on time. 

If you wish to have your property taxes added to your mortgage agreement for payment, you must contact your mortgage company directly.

Mail (cheques, money orders and certified bank drafts)

Note: Canada Post strike actions may disrupt and delay payment by mail in the spring and summer of 2025. Payment by mail is not advised for spring and summer 2025. 

 

Cheques, money orders, and certified bank drafts can be made out and mailed (or couriered) to:

Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo

9909 Franklin Ave.

Fort McMurray, AB T9H 2K4

Reminders

  • Please include the remittance portion of your tax notice with your payment.
  • Mailed payments must be dated and postmarked no later than the due date shown on your tax notice to avoid penalty.
  • Do not mail cash.
