Pay your Property Taxes
Find ways to pay your property taxes, set up monthly payments, and learn when your payment is considered received by the County.
Payment Options
We have several payment options available for County ratepayers to suit your needs. Review your options carefully and feel free to contact us to discuss any questions.
Monthly Payment Plan
Monthly payments are automatic withdrawals from a bank account. To join the Property Tax Monthly Payment Plan, submit a Pre-Authorized Payments Form. The Taxation Department will confirm your application within 5 business days.
The plan commences January 1 each year, providing all taxes and penalties are paid on or before December 31 of the previous year. You can join up to June 1 by paying the missed installments from January 1. Each year after taxes are levied, the monthly payment will be adjusted based on the current year's taxes.
Online Banking & Telepayment
Please be aware of your bank's policies regarding the effective date of payment.
Confirm that your current property roll number is the one registered on your bill payment menu. The tax roll number is linked to the property; if you have moved, the new roll number must be referenced on your bill menu.
An individual payment is required for each tax roll number.
OptionPay
To pay property taxes using a credit card, choose 'Tax' from the drop-down menu and enter your 7-8 digit Roll number. Enter each property separately.
There is a fee paid to Option Pay for this service. The fee will be calculated on the screen once you enter the payment details.
In Person
Confirm our business hours on our contact page to come to the Administration Office and pay in person by debit, cheque, or money order.
We do not accept credit cards for tax payments at the Administration Office. Please see Option Pay - Online Payment.
After Hours
A 24-hour deposit slot is located at the front door entrance of the Administration Office (bottom right) to drop off a cheque or money order.
Do not deposit cash.
By Mail
Cheques or money orders can be mailed to:
County of St. Paul
5015-49 Avenue, St. Paul AB
T0A 3A4

Payment can be made payable to 'County of St. Paul No. 19'. Make sure to write your roll number on your cheque and enclose the property portion of your tax bill.
Payment Terms

When is my payment considered received?
