Parkland County is required to bill and collect school taxes on behalf of the Provincial Government. However, the County has no jurisdiction or control over school board budgets or operations. For information on education taxes, read the Education Property Tax brochure.

When you purchase a new home, or there is change in ownership, the County will send you a School Support Declaration form. This form indicates whether your education property tax dollars will support the public or the separate school. Some areas of Parkland County are not included in the Evergreen Catholic School System so those properties won't be asked to choose where to send their school taxes.

If you wish to change your school support designation, a new School Support Declaration form must be completed and sent to the Tax Department by mail, fax or email. The change does not take effect until the following calendar year.

FAQs

Why do I pay school taxes if I don't have any children in school?

Canada has a strong education system and the costs of education are the responsibility of society. If you were educated in Canada, the cost of your education was largely paid for by the previous generation of tax payers.
