Sample impacts on residential and commercial properties, assuming there was no change in SAMA property assessment values, are as follows:

Payments for property taxes are due by June 30, 2026. Property owners are encouraged to register for the Tax Installment Payment Plan Services (TIPPS) Program to pay taxes in equal installments through December 2026. Late payments will incur a 1.8% penalty starting July 1, 2026.

If you are enrolled in the TIPPS program and your monthly installment requires modification to cover the remaining tax balance, a notification will be issued in July detailing the revised monthly installments to be paid from August through December 2026.

In addition to TIPPs, the City of North Battleford offers many other ways to make payments. This includes online payments by credit card, in person at City Hall (cash, debit payments, or cheques), through your bank, by mail, or by dropping off payments in the secure drop box at City Hall. Please note that credit card payments include a 3% processing fee.                 

For questions about tax notices or to inquire about outstanding tax arrears, property owners are asked to reach out to the City’s Tax Clerk at 306-445-1706 or by email at taxes@cityofnb.ca.
