Paying Property Taxes

The County of Grande Prairie collects property taxes to help pay for services, facilities and projects in the county. Property taxes are calculated based on the assessed value of your property and multiplying it by the appropriate tax rate. We have different tax rates for different assessment classes, including residential, non-residential, farmland, machinery and equipment and linear property.

Tax Instalment Payment Plan

Make paying your property taxes easier by setting up pre-authorized monthly payments rather than paying one lump sum. In order to qualify for the Tax Instalment Payment Plan your account has to be paid in full and your application must be accompanied by a void cheque or direct deposit sheet.

Complete the application form to set up your Tax Installment Payment Plan.

If you choose to end your payment plan, simply contact our tax department at 780-532-9722.

Important: The annual deadline to sign up for the Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP) is Dec 15. No applications for the current year will be accepted after this date.
