Managing household expenses is easier when you can plan ahead.

The City of Lacombe's Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) lets property owners pay their taxes through convenient monthly withdrawals rather than one larger payment each year.

Payments are automatically withdrawn on the 16th of each month, helping make budgeting more predictable.

Interested in enrolling? Complete your the enrollment registration before June 30.

Visit lacombe.ca/taxes or call 403-782-6666 for details.
