Overview
Properties belonging to the Government of Alberta are exempt from municipal taxation. To account for this, municipalities are paid a grant in place of taxes (GIPOT) on eligible properties within their boundaries. This is a discretionary grant program and not a tax payment.
This payment acknowledges that the province benefits from municipal services provided to these properties, such as roadwork, snow clearing, transit and emergency services.
Funding
The 2026-27 budget for the GIPOT program is $75.3 million, and all eligible GIPOT application amounts will be paid at 100%.
