Due Date for tax payment is July 31st to avoid all penalties, whether or not you receive your notice. Payment must be sent to the Summer Village office at 5515 – 44 Avenue, Wetaskiwin, AB T9A 0C8. Cheque(s) must be dated no later than July 31, 2009. If mailed, the envelope must bear a postmark of no later than July 31, 2009. Make cheques payable to: The Summer Village of Itaska Beach.

Property assessments are an estimate of the market value of property as of July 1st of the year prior to the tax year.  Assessments increased this year by 2.77% for residential, and 0.99% for vacant lots.  The tax rate went from 1.764 to 1.716.  The Alberta School Fund Foundation requisition increased by 12%, while taxes only increased by 6.0%.

Seniors can receive a rebate for the difference in increase for the Alberta School Fund Foundation requisition.  For more information, please call 1-800-642-3853 or visit www.seniors.gov.ab.ca.

If you believe your own or any other assessment is unfair, contact the Summer Village Office, or the assessor Grant Clarke directly at 1-888-419-2158, or (780) 893-0156. If, after discussion with the assessor, you still do not agree with your assessment, please speak with the assessor about the assessment appeal process. You may file a written complaint to the Assessment Review Board, c/o the Summer Village office.   All assessment appeals must be received by July 28, 2009.

A complaint must be accompanied by a $100 fee per assessed property.  The $100.00 fee is refundable if one of the following conditions is met:
  • The complaint is withdrawn in writing prior to the scheduling of an assessment review board hearing
  • The Assessment Review Board makes a decision in favour of the complainant
A complaint against your assessed property value does not exempt you from paying taxes on time or late payment penalties.   If a complaint is successful, the adjustment will be applied to the tax roll. 
Local Improvement Levy

All cottages in Itaska must be connected to sewer.  When the sewer line was installed in 1989, a levy was implemented for all home owners.  Some residents chose to pay this entire levy in full, while others will see a local improvement levy on their taxes.  If you are interested in pre-paying this levy, please contact the Summer Village Office.
