Hello Ward 6,
Your property tax must be paid by June 30 to avoid late payment penalties. The City’s Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP) is the most popular payment method. You pay the same amount as your annual property tax levy, but instead of one large lump sum payment in June, you pay smaller monthly instalments.
To request your TIPP agreement, go to calgary.ca/TIPP or call 311. If calling from outside Calgary, dial 403-268-2489. If you’re already on TIPP, you can visit calgary.ca/TIPP to learn how your monthly TIPP instalments are calculated and adjusted.
Did you know? Calgary’s drinking water is supplied by the Bow and Elbow watersheds, which face many pressures, including a changing climate and growing population. You can help build resilient watersheds by creating a YardSmart yard to plant a beautiful garden bed that, once established, takes little time, effort, and water to maintain.
Designs include:
• Layouts and plant suggestions for all areas of your yard – sunny, shady, wet, or a combination of sun and shade.
• A brand-new native wildflower design that creates habitat for pollinators and promotes biodiversity. Included is step-by-step information on planting, watering, and maintenance.
• Created in partnership with The Calgary Horticultural Society, these garden beds are designed to thrive in Calgary.
More YardSmart tips:
• Find trees and shrubs that are hardy enough for our unique climate. For Calgary, choose plants labelled hardiness zone 2 or 3.
• Having a good depth of quality soil, such as compost, ensures your plants can access more water. A layer of at least six to eight inches of soil is recommended.
• Capture free rainwater in a rain barrel and use it on your trees, shrubs, and flower beds.
