If you pay principal, interest, and taxes (PIT) to a mortgage company or bank, they will collect property tax with each mortgage payment.

• Your mortgage holder must inform The City of Calgary to receive an invoice and pay your taxes.
• You will receive the original tax bill for your records.
• The invoiced company’s name will appear on your bill.

Important information:

• If you think you are paying PIT but your mortgage holder’s name isn’t on your bill, contact them immediately to register their interest with The City.
• If a mortgage holder is named on your bill but is no longer responsible for your tax payment, you must pay the taxes by the due date to avoid penalties.

You can’t pay your property tax directly to The City with a credit card. However, some third-party providers in Canada offer this service.

Important Considerations:

• At The City, we do not endorse any third-party providers. You’ll need to research and select one yourself.
• Late payments due to third-party delays will result in penalties. The City cannot guarantee when the payment will be received.
• Third-party providers may charge transaction fees, adding extra costs for you.
