The 2021 Property Assessment Notices have been mailed out. Tax Notices will follow at the end of May with payment due by June 30, 2021. If you have not received a copy of your Property Assessment, please phone
780-939-4361 or email Tax and Utilities.
The Guide to Property Assessment and Taxation is available if you would like to learn about property assessment in Alberta.
You have 60 days from the date of the tax notice to file an assessment complaint. Tax assessors can make changes to your assessment before you file an official complaint, which may save you money on complaint filing fees.
New for 2021
In a change from previous assessment cycles, Morinville will now be issuing Property Assessments in February, followed by Tax Notices in late May. Receiving the assessment notice earlier provides adequate time to consider if the assessed value reflects a fair market value, to compare similar properties in the municipality and to discuss any assessment concerns with the assessor.
Check your mail mid February for your Property Assessment!

Review boards and legislation
If you are filing complaints for the current assessment year, we recommend that you:
- Check the legislation;
- Review all changes; and
- View the decision requirements of both the Local Assessment Review Board and the Composite Assessment Review Board.
Even if you file an appeal on your assessment, taxes are still due by June 30.
Appealing decisions
Appeals to the decisions of both boards are only available to the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench. There is no longer a right to appeal to the Municipal Government Board.
Making an assessment complaint
Please complete a complaint form and contact the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board at 780-939-4361 no later than the final date for complaint shown on your Tax Notice. Make sure to include the payment for any required filing fees. Fees will be refunded if your appeal is successful.
Complaint agent authorization
You can use a Complaint Agent Authorization Form if the property owner is being represented by someone designated on their behalf.
