Updated on May 28, 2020.
All City of Calgary 2020 property tax bills were mailed in the last week of May and are due September 20, 2020 (extended from June 30 due to covid-19).
Billed to the property owner each May, your property tax bill is calculated using your property's annual assessed value from your assessment notice, and the municipal & provincial tax rates (mill rate) approved by Council and Province of Alberta.
When are my property taxes due? Your Calgary property tax bill is due June 30 (extended to September 30 for 2020). A seven per cent penalty (7%) is added July 1 and again on October 1 to any unpaid balance. This means, for every $2,000 in outstanding taxes, it would cost $140 in penalty fees. For payment options and important reminders see Property Tax Payment Information. Credit cards cannot be used to pay property tax directly to The City of Calgary.
How Do I Get a Copy of My Property Tax Bill? If you have not received your property tax bill by the first week of June, please e-mail the City of Calgary and include your name, property address and daytime phone number. Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties.

Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)
The City of Calgary's Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) is a popular program which allows you to pay your property taxes on a monthly basis instead of one payment in June. By participating in TIPP you don't need to worry about the June 30 due date or late payment penalties(or have it added to your mortgage payment by your lender).
Property Tax Assistance Programs
The City of Calgary's Property Tax Assistance Program may provide a credit/rebate to assist low-income homeowners, regardless of age. They encourage people to reach out even if they aren't sure whether they qualify for this program as other help may be available through community resources. The Government of Alberta also provides assistance through their Seniors Property Tax Deferral Program which works by giving you a low-interest loan secured against your home equity and is repaid when you sell your house, are no longer eligible for the loan, or at any other time you choose.
