The City of Grande Prairie is extending service hours ahead of the fast-approaching tax payment deadline at the end of the month.
City Hall hours will be extended for residents to make their tax payments in person at the City Hall front desk from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on June 26th, June 27th and June 30th.
Director of Assessment and Taxation for the City of Grande Prairie Scott Smith says the extension is critical for some residents as schedules can be busy during the summer months.
“We understand that many residents have busy schedules, and we hope that by staying open later, we can offer the flexibility needed to ensure everyone’s tax responsibilities are met on time,” he says.
The extended hours will only be in place for the Taxation Department and all other City Hall services will continue under regular hours.
Residents can make payments by cheque, cash, money order, debit, and bank drafts. Credit card payments will only be accepted online.
Any payments made after June 30th will be subject to a six per cent penalty.
