Tax Recovery

Tax Recovery

The Municipal Government Act of Alberta provides the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 the authority to enforce payment of legally levied property taxes. 

Part 10 of the Municipal Government Act provides for three tax recovery processes: 

  1. Recovery of Taxes Related to Land (Division 8); 
  2. Recovery of Taxes Related to Designated Manufactured Homes (Division 8.1); and, 
  3. Recover of Taxes Not Related to Land (Division 9). 

The Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 takes all reasonable actions toward recovery of property tax arrears while ensuring the tax recovery process is in full compliance with the Municipal Government Act.

For detailed information regarding tax recovery, please refer to the Municipal Government Act or Alberta Municipal Affairs' Guide to Tax Recovery in Alberta.
