When making a payment online, the tax roll number is unique to each property. If you have recently moved, the tax roll number will be different than on your previous property. Your tax roll number is your account num-ber. Should you own multiple properties, you may use your owner number (located on bottom portion of tax notice) as your account number or may designate payment to each tax roll number. Allow 2-3 business days for processing.

Telephone Banking

Contact your financial institution for information and details on how to set up your payment. Please retain all confirmation numbers and documentation through telephone or internet banking and allow 2-3 business days for processing.

To protect agricultural land from the infestation of Clubroot & Fusarium graminearum, the County will be doing annual inspections per County Policy to prevent the spread of

pests under the Alberta Pest Act.

We encourage all County residents to remove soil and debris from trucks, equipment, ATV’s, and other utility vehicles before entering the Peace Country, to prevent the

spread of this soil borne disease.

We also encourage producers to buy certified Fusarium graminearum free seed and hay/straw: buying locally when

ever possible.

The County will enforce a zero tolerance policy as per the Action Management Plans set out by Alberta Agriculture. For more information contact your local Agricultural

Fieldman at 780.836.3348 or 1.888.525.3481.
