Assessment & Taxation
Pre-authorized Tax Payment Plan Notice
Due to a technical error, some residents/businesses who are on Pre-Authorized Tax (PAT) payment plan for property taxation with the City of St. Albert experienced a duplicate payment taken out on July 31, 2020. The City is aware of the error and took immediate action to rectify the situation. We apologize to those affected and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Depending on the banking institution, some residents/businesses experienced a reversal on July 31; others on August 4, due to the Heritage Day long weekend. Unfortunately, the possibility exists for variance in application by the banks.
Also, depending on transaction timing, some taxpayers may have seen a reversal prior to the duplicate payment.
If you have not seen a credit, please contact your banking institution directly.
Anyone who has incurred a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee is asked to contact the City directly at 780-459-1516 during regular business hours.
Important Notice
