Taxes, Rates & Fees

Town Council sets the mill rate during its annual budget deliberations. Residential property owners pay municipal property taxes based on 80% of the assessed value of their property. To determine you municipal property taxes, multiply 80% of the assessed value of your property by the mill rate. Please note that in addition to municipal property taxes, property owners will also pay school taxes.

Tax statements are sent to property owners in late June/early July, and taxes are due by December 31st of each year. A 5% discount on the municipal portion is available to residents who pay their taxes by August 31st.

Taxes can be paid by cash, cheque, debit or online. The Town encourages online tax payments. Call the Town Office at (306) 695-3344 for more information, or to set up a payment plan.

The Town of Indian Head is now offering residents the opportunity to receive specific municipal notices as attachments in an email rather than by regular mail.

Transmitting information by e-mail has a number of risks that residents should be aware of. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

E-mail can be circulated, forwarded, and stored in numerous paper and electronic files.
E-mail can be immediately broadcast worldwide and be received by many intended and unintended recipients.
E-mail senders can easily misaddress an email.
E-mail is easier to falsify than handwritten or signed documents.
Backup copies of e-mail may exist even after the sender or the recipient has deleted their copy.
E-mail can be intercepted, altered, forwarded, or used without authorization or detection.
E-mail can be used to introduce viruses into computer systems.
E-mail can be used as evidence in court.

The Town of Indian Head will use reasonable means to protect the security and confidentiality of e-mail information sent and received. However, because of the risks outlined above, the municipality cannot guarantee the security and confidentiality of e-mail communication, and will not be liable for improper disclosure of confidential information. For this reason, the customer must consent to the use of e-mail for delivery of municipal notices.

Consent to the use of e-mail for the delivery of municipal notices includes agreement with the following:

Failure to receive an e-mailed municipal notice does not release me from my responsibility to pay any charges specified on the notice, or any penalties which may be incurred by late payment.
I will inform the Town of Indian Head of any change in my e-mail address as soon as possible, to prevent the misdirection of notices and reduce the risk of my not receiving a notice.
I may withdraw from e-mail delivery at any time. To do so I will inform the Town of Indian Head, and all notices which were previously e-mailed to me will be sent by regular mail.
