Questions on requesting an agreement or completing the form?
Can I pick the day my payment comes out of my bank account?
No. TIPP payments are withdrawn on the first of each month.
How long does it take to enrol?
The enrolment process time can vary. It begins with your request to join.
- A customized TIPP agreement is sent to you after your request is received. During peak property tax periods, such as May through June, it may take up to 7 days to fulfil your request.
- The agreement sent will have a “return by” date and a “start date.” You will need to return your completed agreement no later than the “return by” date on the agreement.
- The enrolment process is complete on your “start date” after we have successfully withdrawn your first monthly instalment.
Can my monthly TIPP payment be withdrawn from any type of account?
TIPP payments are withdrawn from Canadian dollar chequing accounts. Line-of-credit, power-line or credit card accounts may not be used.
I own more than one property in Calgary. Can I pay my property tax for all of them through this plan?
Yes. As TIPP agreements are unique to each property, you will need to request, complete and return an agreement for each property you would like to enrol in the plan.
If you provide the same chequing account information for all your TIPP agreements, your monthly payments will be combined and withdrawn as one transaction.
Condo owners please note: An agreement is required for your condo unit and a separate agreement is required for each parking stall(s) and storage unit(s).
What names do we record for the TIPP Participant(s) on the TIPP agreement?
The TIPP participants are the names of ALL those who are entering into the TIPP agreement. At least one of the TIPP participants must be the bank account holder.
If a company is joining TIPP, the TIPP participant recorded should be the name of the company AND the name of the signing officer for the company’s bank account.
Who needs to sign the agreement?
The TIPP Agreement should be signed by ALL the TIPP participants who are entering into the agreement. At least one of the TIPP participants must be the bank account holder.
If the monthly payment will come from a company bank account, the signing officer for the bank account signs the agreement on behalf of the company.
NOTE: the signature must be your actual signature, not a digital or typed version of your signature.
