Tax Payments

We've made it easy for you to pay your taxes by offering the following  payment methods:

Paying at Your Bank

  • When paying at your bank, you must ensure the City will receive the payment by the due date or a penalty will be applied. Please ensure that the payee is Grande Prairie (City) Taxes and not Grande Prairie No 1 as this is the County of Grande Prairie.

Paying Online

  • Credit card only at Eservices - eservices.cityofgp.com  **Please note: An account must be created and there is a 2.25% service fee for using this option. Credit cards are NOT accepted in-person at City Hall.
  • Online Banking: Use your bank’s online bill payment system to pay your property taxes directly. This can be done via the bill payment option or in person at your financial institution. Your property roll number is the account number. To allow processing time from your financial institution, it is suggested to make your payment 3 to 4 business days before the due date as payments received after are subject to penalties as stated on your notice.
  • For help setting up online payments, please call: 780-538-0315.

Online Banking/Bill Payment Tips

1) Log in to your online banking account.

2)  Select Bill Payment/Add Payee.

3) Search for "Grande Prairie"

4) Choose "Grande Prairie (City) – Taxes" (or "City of Grande Prairie    Taxes" for ATB users). Important: Do not select the option that mentions "No 1" as this refers to the County of Grande Prairie and payments made to this account by mistake may take up to a month to be returned.

5) Your account number is your 6-digit Roll Number, which can be found on your Tax Assessment or Tax Notice. Please only pay one account at a time.
