Property Tax Recovery

Warning Notice

Properties with tax arrears over one year, will receive a warning notice from The Town of Olds. It outlines the minimum amounts that must be paid to avoid further tax recovery action.

Tax Recovery Notification

If property taxes are unpaid for more than one year, a Tax Recovery Notification will be registered on the certificate of title. For Designated Manufactured Homes, a Tax Recovery Lien will be registered on the Personal Property through Alberta Registries.

A $40 charge will be applied to the tax account when the lien is registered on title.

Alberta Land Titles will notify all parties with a registered interest on title of The Town's tax recovery lien.

The tax recovery notification from the Registrar of Land Titles states "if the tax arrears in respect of the parcel of land are not paid before March 31 in the next year, the municipality will offer the parcel for sale at a public auction."

Note: Parties receiving this notice could include mortgage holders, caveators, encumbrances, etc.

Tax Recovery Notification Removal

Once tax arrears are paid in full, The Town of Olds will notify Alberta Land Titles or Personal Properties to remove the tax recovery notification. Payment of the full tax arrears will prevent a property from being sold at public auction. 

For all payment methods see Property Tax Payment.
