Supplementary Assessments
Supplementary Assessment Letter 2022 - What is a supplementary property assessment? If a new building is completed in the current tax year (2022), a supplementary assessment is prepared. A supplementary assessment reflects the increase in the value of a property where a new home or building is either completed or occupied during the current tax year (2022).
The supplemental assessment is the value of your home not included in the 2021 assessed value of your property for 2022 taxes which was mailed February 28, 2022. The Town of High River, bylaw 4605/2022, authorizes supplementary assessment and taxation in accordance with Section 313 of the Municipal Government Act. Supplementary assessments are pro-rated to reflect only the number of months during which the new building was complete.
Land Title Delays - Property tax bills mailed in late May 2022 might not reflect recent ownership and mailing address changes due to delays at the Province of Alberta Land Titles Office. If you have not contacted the Town to inform them of the purchase of your new property, you will not receive a tax notice. You will get a tax notice if you sold your home and are still on the land title.
The Town is not responsible for delays. Non-receipt of your property tax bill does not exempt you from late payment penalties. To avoid late payment penalties, ensure your property tax is paid on or before the June 30 due date.
Property owners who have not received their property tax bill can fill out a form on the following webpage: highriver.ca/moving-forms or email corporateservices@highriver.ca.
