Property Tax Bylaws
We have three main bylaws used in our tax department when it comes to your tax bill.
Property Tax Bylaw
The Property Tax Bylaw raises the amount of taxes for General Municipal, Library and Capital Project Levies. It also has the current rates for base taxes, minimum tax and Destination Marketing Levy for Hotels.
Mill Rate Factor Bylaw
The Mill Rate Factor Bylaw establishes the mill rate factor for each tax class the City has, and identifies what all the tax classes are.
Property Tax Incentive and Penalties Bylaw
Our Property Tax Incentive and Penalties Bylaw identifies all the due dates of taxes, the interest charges, our TIPPS incentive as well as our discount for early payments.
Calculating property taxes
To calculate the levies on your property taxes, this formula is used:
Taxable assessed value x mill rate x mill rate factor = levy amount
The mill rate is set by City Council each year following deliberations of the Budget Committee.
School Board
The City of Prince Albert is required by legislation to bill and collect school taxes on behalf of the Province. You can make a declaration of whether your education property tax dollars will support the Public School or the Separate School.
School board taxes do not have a mill rate factor associated with them. Please see our property tax bylaw to see all the rates associated with your tax notice.
Property Tax Estimates
Exact taxes for any particular property are not provided. You can find an approximation of taxes by using the property tax estimate calculator. To use the calculator you need to click on Assessment Online, you will need to know the assessed value of a property.
Property Ownership
If you would like to find out who the owner of a property is, please contact Information Services Corporation.
Property Tax Relief
Property tax relief may be considered if it meets the criteria listed in the Property Tax Relief Policy.
