Property Taxes

2025 Property Taxes

Property Taxes are due and payable on the last business day of June 2025 which this year is Monday, June 30, 2025.  This is to advise the ratepayers of Big Lakes County that the Property Assessment and Tax Notices were mailed out May 7, 2025.

A 7.5% penalty will be applied to current taxes and arrears if payment is received after June 30, 2025, and an additional 14.5% for payments made after the last business day in January.

Failure to receive a tax notice doesn’t alleviate property from property taxation. If you don’t receive a property tax notice by May 30, 2025, please contact our office.

If your address has changed and you have not notified our office previously, please do so immediately by calling 780-523-5955, faxing us at 780-523-4227, e-mailing [email protected], or sending a letter to Big Lakes County, PO Box 239, High Prairie, AB T0G 1E0. Also, please contact Land Titles to update your address; it will also update our system.

Alberta Land Titles Processing Delays & Impact on Taxation Notices

Alberta Land Titles is reporting a four-to-five-month delay in processing land title transfers. In cases where a property has recently been sold, this may result in new owners not receiving their combined Assessment and Tax Notice that will be mailed out in May of 2025. If you have recently bought land, please make sure that your lawyer sends a copy of the seller’s information to our tax department so we can make sure that you receive your notice in time.

NOTE: The deadline for payment of taxes remains the last business day in June.
