Taxation and Utilities
Taxes help pay for City services such as:
Assessment Notices are mailed at the end of February with a 60 day complaint period. Tax Notices are mailed at the end of May with taxes due June 30 unless enrolled in our Tax Installment Plan. Combined Supplemental Assessment and Taxation Notices are mailed at the end of October with taxes due November 30. You are still required to pay this amount in full even if you are enrolled on the Tax Installment Plan.
Your property tax includes the educational tax rate set by the Province of Alberta. These taxes are collected by the City for the province to fund public and separate schools. Council cannot change the education rates set by the province. Property Search Link
To update your mailing address for tax-related notices, please complete the change of address form (PDF) and return it to the Tax Department.
Now that Beaumont has two school districts, Public and Roman Catholic, individuals can declare support for property taxes to a specific district. If you would like to declare support for the Roman Catholic separate school district, fill out the School Support Form (PDF) and submit to the City.
Look on your assessment to see what you have currently declared.
For more information please go to the Municipal Affairs website or contact us.

Tax Certificates
In order to obtain a tax certificate, fax a request to 780-929-8729.
There is a cost of $25 for this service, which will be invoiced to you when the tax certificate is prepared. We process tax certificates on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at which time we will fax your tax certificate immediately and mail the original. Please allow up to 48 hours for your request to be processed, as we are unable to do ‘rush' tax certificates at this time.
Tax certificates can now be ordered online through the City of Beaumont website. Please email vch@beaumont.ab.ca to register for this service.
