The City of Medicine Hat is required by legislation to bill and collect taxes on behalf of the provincial government (Alberta Learning) and the Medicine Hat Catholic School District . While the City of Medicine Hat bills and collects school taxes, the municipality has no jurisdiction or control over the school board budgets or operations. School support on a property is shown as "undeclared" unless a declaration of school support is filed by the owner.

School support status is reflected on your property tax and assessment notice.

A change to school support does not take effect until the following calendar year.

For more information, please reference Alberta Learning at
