Reminder that 2025 Property Taxes are due by June 30

We ask those coming to City Hall to pay to please be patient if there are lines and to please be courteous to our City staff who are here to help you.

For those who have recently acquired property in Lethbridge and have not received their tax notice, proof of ownership will be required when contacting 311 or visiting City Hall for a copy.

Due to the potential postal strike, residents are advised not to send tax payments through the mail. Payments must be received by the due date. Penalties will apply to all outstanding tax balances as of July 1, 2025, and late payment penalties will not be waived due to postal disruptions or failure to receive your Tax Notice. See the back of your notice for the full penalty schedule.

Various payment options are available:

• In person: cash, cheques, and debit card payments are accepted on the main floor at City Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Credit cards are not accepted at City Hall
• Directly at your bank and the City will accept the teller stamp date as the date of payment received
• Online or telephone banking using the 13-digit roll number located in the top right of the tax notice. Please select “Lethbridge (City of) Taxes”
• Cheque or money order can be mailed or dropped off at City Hall, 910 - 4th Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta, T1J 0P6

o   Please do not send cash by mail

• Online with a credit card through lethbridge.ca/pay. For a fee, property and DBIA taxes can be paid using MasterCard or Visa. Allow one to two business days for processing.

Please do not send E-transfers. They are not accepted as a method of payment.

Property owners can also opt for the monthly Tax Instalment Prepayment Plan (TIPP), offering a one per cent monthly discount on the credit balance. Enrollment for the 2026 property taxes is available for those whose 2025 taxes are paid in full. Property owners are encouraged to sign up for TIPP before July 21 to start at the beginning of the TIPP cycle.

City Council approved the 2025 Municipal Property Tax Bylaw on April 29, with a direct tie-in to the 2023-2026 City of Lethbridge Operating Budget, approved in November 2022. The money raised from property taxes funds our municipal services including policing, fire and emergency services, infrastructure and roadways, transit and human services to help all residents within our community. Keeping these services working is essential for a healthy and functional community.
