Residents paying through online banking are encouraged to allow sufficient processing time before the June 30 deadline. New homeowners who have not yet received their property tax bill due to pending land title transfers are encouraged to contact the Town before the deadline to avoid penalties.
Payment options include:

- By mail to the Town of Cochrane
- In person at the RancheHouse, The Station or Family & Community Support Services (FCSS)

Residents looking for a more flexible payment option in future years can enroll in the Town’s Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP), which divides annual property taxes into manageable monthly payments automatically withdrawn on the 15th of each month. For more information, visit cochrane.ca/tipp.
