Property Assessment
The Government of Alberta has guidelines for property assessment to ensure that all property owners pay their fair share of property taxes.
Property assessment in Alberta is highly regulated and conducted by experienced, certified assessors. The Town of Rocky Mountain House contracts Accurate Assessment Group LTD. to prepare the assessment on its behalf.
Understanding your Property Assessment Notice
Property Taxes
By legislation, the Town of Rocky Mountain House collects only enough taxes to cover the portion of the annual operating budget that is not covered by grants or user fees.
The Town of Rocky Mountain House distributes Property Tax Notices in early June every year and asks property owners to pay their taxes in full by the last business day in July to avoid late-payment penalties. Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from penalty due to late payment.

Change of Address for Assessment and Tax Notices
Under the Municipal Government Act, Section 337, a tax bill is considered to have been received by the property owner seven days after mailing.
If you require a change of mailing address for your property assessment and tax notices, you can complete the Change of Details Form and return it to the Town Office.
Be sure to change your mailing address through Alberta Land Titles as well, as it is the property owner's responsibility to keep the information on Alberta Land Titles up-to-date. You will require the legal description of your property which is shown on your tax bill.
