Connecting a New Utility Service

Utility accounts are attached to the property and are not transferable when the property is sold. A new utility account is automatically created for your property at the time that we receive notification from Alberta Land Titles of your name(s) being registered on your property. When you sell your property you must request that a final bill be issued so that your account can be closed. See Purchasing or Selling Property for more details.

Recently Married or Divorced?

If the status of your name has changed, you must first register the change with the Alberta Land Titles office. The name(s) on your Town of Canmore tax and utility account will then be changed in due process.

Mailing Address changed?

Utility bills will be sent to the owner's mailing address as recorded on the title for the property unless written notification is received to change your mailing address.

If mail sent by the Town of Canmore Utility Department is returned by the post office as 'undeliverable', we will make a reasonable effort to locate the owner(s). If our efforts are unsuccessful the returned mail items will be stored in the tax roll file and a notation will be made in our database.
