Sturgeon County - Morinville

The Sturgeon Tax Installment Payment Plan allows property owners in Sturgeon County to pay their property tax in monthly installments rather than a single payment.

You can join the plan if:

• your tax account is not in arrears
• you have chequing privileges at a financial institution (bank, trust company, treasury branch or credit union)
• you do not currently pay your taxes through a mortgage company (P.I.T.)

No penalties or fees will be applied to current taxes if the taxpayer is approved for enrollment in TIPP and has arranged for payment using an Electronic Fund Transfer payment process.

How TIPP works

Depending on when the application is submitted and approved, Sturgeon County may require a partial payment of taxes or it will become effective the following year.

• Payments may only be made by automatic withdrawal from an account with chequing privileges at a financial institution.
• You must give written permission before the withdrawal will begin. We do not charge for this service; however, normal banking service charges may apply.
• The taxpayer shall notify Sturgeon County in writing 14 days before the next payment date if there is any change in bank account from which funds are to be transferred.  
• Payments begin January 31 of the new year and continue each consecutive month. As long as there are sufficient funds to guarantee payment, no penalty will apply. Your current tax levy will be divided by 12 to establish your monthly payments for January to May.
• Your monthly payment will then be adjusted in June to compensate for changes resulting from the annual tax levy. Your annual tax bill, usually issued in April, will show the total amount of instalments to date and the calculation of the instalment payments for the remaining portion of the year.
