TIPPS

Starland County has implemented a TIPPs (Tax Installment Payment Plan) program starting in 2023. Eligible taxpayers are now able to pay their current year taxes over twelve equal pre-authorized monthly installments, penalty-free, from January to December of each current tax year. A taxpayer will not be eligible to enter this plan if there is any outstanding amount owing on the tax roll.

The monthly installment amount shall be one-twelfth of the previous year’s tax levy until the current year’s tax levy is calculated. An adjustment shall be made to this monthly installment amount to ensure that the current year’s taxes will be paid in full by the end of the year. Pre-authorized automatic withdrawals/debits from the taxpayer’s bank account shall be made on the last business day of each month. Once a taxpayer is enrolled in the plan, the plan will automatically renew each year.

A taxpayer can opt out of the plan at any time with fifteen days' written notice to the Administration of Starland County. If a taxpayer fails to make one payment, the taxpayer shall be notified that a second payment attempt will be made in fifteen days. If the second attempt fails, the plan shall be automatically cancelled, and penalties shall accrue.

For more information on this plan, please access the Tax Installment Payment Plan Bylaw 1188  and Pre-authorized Debit Application form below or phone the County Administration office at 403-772-3793.
