New online Tax Portal
Our new online tax portal launched Monday and we’re excited to provide an easier online option to manager your property taxes. With the new eTax portal, you can:
- Access account information online
- Choose paperless ebilling for your tax notice
- View both your Assessment and Tax notices online
- Make payment online with a credit card (2.4% Administration Fee applies for online payments)
But wait! To access the portal, you’ll need your Tax Roll number and Access Code which will be printed on your 2025 Annual Property Tax Notice when they are mailed on May 21, 2025. If you would like to sign up before then, please contact the Customer Care Team to request your new Access Code.
Review your Assessment Notice
Assessment Notices were mailed March 6th and should already be in your mailbox. Now is the time to review your assessed property value and reach out to our Assessment Department to discuss any concerns. You can even compare the assessed values of other properties by checking out the Assessment Roll or the Assessment Map, both of which can be found at medicinehat.ca/viewmyassessment.
Property owners have until May 13 to file an assessment complaint with the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board.

Saamis Solar Park: an option, not an obligation
This week’s Municipal Matters article in our local newspaper outlined the current status of the Saamis Solar Park project and where we go from here. One of the most critical points is that there are a number of milestones yet to achieve, which will come forward in an open setting for Council decision, in order to proceed forward. Ownership provides the option, but not the obligation, to build the project. We think you’ll find it an interesting read.

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s CF-188 Hornet training!
Our friends in National Defence/Canadian Armed Forces keep us well informed whenever something out of the ordinary will be evident to residents in our community so that we can accurately answer any inquiries.
Since this one will be quite fun to see, we thought you should know!
CF-188 Hornets from 410 Tactical Fighter Operational Training Squadron based in Cold Lake, AB, will be conducting routine dry training over the CFB Suffield Range Training Area, March 13-17, 2025 during daytime hours.
The aircraft will be approaching from Calgary and citizens along the flightpath may observe routine aerial movements while in transit to the range training area. Citizens may further notice specific training as pilots practice tactical maneuvers above the range training area located approximately 50km NW of Medicine Hat. No live munitions will be used during the training.
That’s neat!
