Tax Info

The Town of Swan River uses locally collected taxes to provide services to community residents and to effectively operate the Town. It also collects the education tax on behalf of the Swan Valley School Division.

Taxes are due in full by July 31, or the last working day of July. A discount of 1% is provided on current real property taxes paid before July 1st - no discount on business taxes. A penalty of 1.25% per month (15% per year) is applied to outstanding taxes starting on August 1 for current taxes and January 1 on taxes in arrears. Please note that discounts and penalities are applied according to the date payment is received in the office, not by the date post-marked.

All payments must be in Canadian funds and may be made by cash, cheque, Interac, or Direct Deposit through your financial institution.
