Paying Your Taxes

Property taxes cover the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of the current year and are mailed in May of each calendar year. Payments are due on June 30. Your entire tax bill can be paid at any time, but there is no discount for early payment. If you haven’t received your tax bill by the second full week of June, please contact us by phone at 780-789-3935 ext. 104 or by emailing finance@thorsby.ca.

Payment Options

Property owners can choose from one of the following payment options:

  • Monthly Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)
    • TIPP allows property owners to pay taxes by automatic monthly debit from their bank account as opposed to annual payment. For information on the tax installment plan, click here.
  • Online
    • Log into your online bank account and go to “pay bills and transfer funds”. Select “add payee” and type in “Thorsby”. Select “Thorsby – Taxes” from the list that appears. Use your six-digit tax roll number as your account number. Ensure you allow enough time for bank processing, which is a recommended 2-3 business days prior to the due date. If we receive your payment after the due date because of bank processing, it will be considered late and incur penalties.
  • At the Municipal Office
    • You may pay your bill by cheque, bank draft, debit or cash at the Thorsby Town Office from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Post-dated payments are accepted. Check with your financial institution to confirm your single transaction limit. Cheques are to be made payable to ‘Town of Thorsby’ and please include the property address or roll number you are paying. Credit card is not available for taxes.
  • After hours drop-box available at front entrance
