The City of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, will begin mailing property tax notices to homeowners and businesses in late May 2026. These annual notices are sent to everyone who owns property in the community to fund local services and infrastructure.
Property owners must pay their taxes by June 30, 2026. Those who miss the deadline will face a 3 per cent penalty on July 1, followed by a 6 per cent charge in August and a 9 per cent charge in September. These penalties apply to any balance that has not been paid or postmarked by the end of June.
The city is currently operating with a $111.3 million budget for daily services and an $18.6 million budget for building projects. In 2025, the average home saw a municipal tax increase of about $124 per year. The city is known for having a competitive tax rate compared to other communities in the region.
Residents can sign up for an e-notification service to receive their tax bills through email instead of by paper mail. Another option is the monthly payment plan, which automatically withdraws tax payments from a bank account on the 15th of every month to help avoid late fees.
Payments can be made online, through the mail, or in person at City Hall, the Dow Centennial Centre, and the Harbour Pool. Residents who have questions or do not receive their notice by the start of June can contact the financial services office at 780-992-6228 or visit City Hall at 10005 102 Street.
