Taxation & Assessment
The Combined Assessment and Tax Notices have been mailed to all property owners. If you have not received your notice please contact the Village Office at 403-740-1572

The assessment roll is open to inspection at the Village Office and any person may inspect the assessment roll during regular business hours.  An assessed person or a taxpayer wishing to make a complaint about any assessment or tax must do so in accordance with relevant provisions under the Municipal Government Act and Regulations.  There is no right to make a complaint about any tax rate.

Taxes may be paid at the Summer Village Office by cash or cheque.  They may also be paid online with the following banks:  CIBC, TD Bank, Credit Union, ATB, and Bank of Montreal. Please ensure that you select the Summer Village of White Sands.  You may also pay through OptionPay.

Assessment Complaints:
Please be aware that changes to provincial legislation have had a significant impact on the filing and processing of assessment complaints.  If you do not agree with your property assessment please call the Village Office (403-740-1572) as soon as possible, well before the "Final Date of Complaint".  Assessors will provide you with sufficient information about your valuation.  If you are still not satisfied that your assessment is accurate, you may file a complaint with the Assessment Review Board and a formal hearing will be held.

Persons wishing to file an assessment complaint must first obtain (and complete in full) a copy of the provincially prescribed Complaint Form.  Alberta Municipal Affairs has prepared several guides to help you understand the assessment complaint process.

The completed form, relevant documents and filing fee of $50 per property must be filed with the Assessment Review Board by the "Final Date of Complaint" shown on the Combined Assessment and Tax Notice at the Summer Village Office  Attn:  Melissa Beebe,  #10, 19447 Hwy 12, Stettler, AB or mailed to Summer Village of White Sands Attn:  Melissa Beebe, Box 119, Stettler, AB  T0C 2L0  Complaints will not be accepted after the final date of complaint.
