The Province of Alberta Education Act requires purchasers of property to file a notice of school support with the municipality within 60 days of land title transfer, with a notice of school support being required for each titled property.

 

As the Constitution establishes Alberta's public and separate school systems on the basis of religion (either Protestant or Roman Catholic) school boards and tax collecting authorities are allowed and required to ask for the declaration contained in this form. Individual property owners who are Roman Catholic must direct

their taxes to the Roman Catholic separate school district. Individual property owners who are not Roman Catholic must direct their taxes to the public school district. If property is owned by a Roman Catholic and a non-Roman Catholic, the municipality will assign the taxes to the public and Roman Catholic separate school

districts in accordance with the percentage of ownership indicated beside the name of each owner.

 

In order to ensure that property taxes are directed correctly, it is important that all property owners (even if they do not reside in Calgary) are designated and have signed the School Support Notice and the percentage of ownership totals 100%.

 

The school support declared will then be recorded on the property assessment roll, with the change coming into effect the following year.

 

If School Support Declaration is not completed, it will be deemed undeclared and the individual owners’ property will be assessable for public school purposes. The taxes on such property will be directed to the Alberta School Foundation Fund and redistributed on an equal amount per student basis, to public and separate school boards in Alberta.

 

Consistent with the Constitution of Canada, the Education Act provides:

 

1. That individuals who are Roman Catholic must direct their taxes in support of schools to the Roman Catholic separate school district. A Roman Catholic is defined as an individual who recognizes the Pope as the head of the Church.

 

2. That all other individuals must direct their taxes in support of schools to the public school district.

 

3. Where two or more individuals (where one or more is Roman Catholic) own property, they must direct their taxes in support of schools to the Roman Catholic separate school district and the public school district in proportion to their ownership. Joint owners are deemed to own the property in equal shares, for example, two property owners, one Roman Catholic, and the other is not: 50% Separate, 50% Public; or three property owners all having equal shares, one Roman Catholic, and the other two are not: 33.3% Separate, 66.7% Public.

 

 

All Individuals who own property located in an area where a separate school district exists are required to file a School Support Notice.

I/We declare that:

 

Each form is limited to a maximum of five owners. If there are six or more owners, please complete and submit an additional form for the remaining owners.

 

Must be 100%
