NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT ROLL 2021
The Municipal District of Fairview No. 136
(Province of Alberta)
Property owners within the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136, take notice that property assessment notices were mailed on March 23, 2021. The Notice of Assessment Date is March 31, 2021. 2021 Property Tax Notices will be mailed out in late June 2021.
Please note that notices were mailed to property owners as registered at Alberta Land Titles Office as of March 15, 2021. If you became an owner after that date, it is your responsibility to obtain a copy of the Assessment Notice by contacting the municipal office at 780.835.4903.
If you have concerns about the assessment of your property, you are encouraged to contact the municipal office, who will then direct your inquiry to our Assessor. Please provide accurate and current contact information to municipal staff. If you still feel your assessment does not reflect the property's value at July 1 of the previous year, you may file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board. Complaints along with the appropriate fee must be filed no later than 60 days after the notice of assessment date. The government of Alberta Assessment Review Board Complaint Form can be obtained at the Municipal Office or from the Alberta Municipal Affairs website.
An Assessment Review Board may only hear complaints about specific assessment matters referred to in Section 460 of the Municipal Government Act. An Assessment Review Board does not hear complaints related to taxation.
Failure to receive a tax notice is not a reason for non-payment of taxes. In the event of non-payment, taxes may be recovered as provided in the Municipal Government Act.
