TAXES

Please be advised all property taxes will be due and payable by December 31, 2020.

This date may seem like it is a long time away, but it will come quickly if you are not prepared for it.  The January 1st 2021 penalty (18%) is on the outstanding balance in your tax account.  Please call the Town Office at 403-843-2113 to discuss payment options.

UTILITIES

The penalty relief will expire December 31, 2020.  Utility customers are encouraged to make full or partial payments as they are able to keep their accounts as current as possible.

Tax and Utility Accounts

Taxes - The Combined Tax and Assessment Notice were mailed out on May 21, 2020.   No penalty will be applied to outstanding taxes at July 31, 2020; however, all 2020 property taxes will be due and payable by December 31, 2020.  We are encouraging property owners to sign up for the Tax Installment Payment Plan to ensure your taxes are paid by December 31.  Please call the Town Office at 403-843-2113 to discuss payment options.

Utility Invoices – The monthly utility invoices will continue to be mailed at the beginning of each month.  Council has provided that no late payment fee will be charged on accounts not paid by the due date.  This penalty relief will continue until December 31, 2020.  Utility customers are encouraged to make full or partial payments as they are able to keep their accounts as current as possible.

Citizens are encouraged to mail in bill payments or pay on line through their banks.  Payments may also be made by credit card by calling the Administration Office at 403-843-2113. There is a drop box located on the south side of the Administration Building if you choose to pay by cheque.

Although the risk of infection is low, the Town of Rimbey is responding to the provincial health directive given Thursday by Alberta's Chief Medical Officer of Health to limit the gatherings of large groups of people to help slow the spread of the virus.
