Taxes are technically due January 1st of each year. The M.D. of Pincher Creek strives to send out tax notices May 1st each year and does not expect tax payments to be made until the tax notices have been sent. A 2% discount is allowed on current taxes paid within 30 days of mailing the tax notice.

If you have not received a tax notice by May 15th please contact the office as you are liable to pay your taxes even if a notice has not been received.

A 5% penalty is applied to unpaid current taxes on November 1st each year. A further 12% penalty is applied to all outstanding taxes on January 1st of each year. Taxes that remain unpaid for 2 years after the mailing of the tax notice have a tax notification registered on their title. If the taxes still remain unpaid 1 year after that can be put up for sale by the Municipality.
