Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)

The Tax Installment Payment Plan is a popular program which allows you to pay your property taxes on a monthly basis instead of one payment in July. By

participating in TIPPs you don’t need to worry about the July 31st due date or late payment penalties.

How does TIPP work?

Each year property taxes are billed in May, due July 31st covering the period of January 1st to December 31st.

If you pay through TIPPs you don’t need to worry about the payment deadline or late payment penalties.

Your taxes are spread over 12 months, starting in January, with your account being paid in full after the

December installment.

Your installment amount is calculated by dividing your most recent annual tax levy by 12. This amount is to

be paid through automated withdrawals from your bank account the last day of each month.

When you receive your annual tax bill in May your installment will be adjusted to reflect the actual tax levy,

ensuring your account is paid in full by year end.

In the event you sell your property, you MUST notify the Town of Penhold in writing 15 days prior to

the next due date to arrange for cancelation.

In the event you need to change your bank account, you MUST notify the Town of Penhold in writing

15 days prior to the next due date.

Sign up simply by completing the Property Taxation Monthly Payment Plan and provide a void cheque. The form can be found online at http://

www.townofpenhold.ca/doing-business-in-penhold/forms/ or at the Town Office.

Fax to 403-886-4039, email [email protected], mail to Town of Penhold, P.O. Box 10 Penhold, AB, T0M 1R0 or drop off at the Town Office.

You can sign up at any time!

May - Young Drivers

Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death and injury among Alberta’s youth.

Parents and guardians can set rules for young drivers to reinforce good driving behavior.

Young drivers need to take responsibility for their own actions on the road.

A criminal record is forever.

Live to see your graduation – do not drive drunk or high.

What will happen if GDL program conditions or restrictions are violated?

Violating a program condition or restriction may result in a new driver being charged with an offence as outlined below:

Alcohol consumption Immediate 30 day suspension

More passengers than seat belts $100 fine and two demerit points

Driving after midnight (learners only) $100 fine and two demerit points

No accompanying driver $200 fine and two demerit points

How can I file a Bylaw or Municipal Violation Complaint?

Residents wishing to lodge a complaint about a potential Bylaw infraction or Municipal violation or who wish to request assistance

should contact the Community Peace Officers directly at Complaint & Inquiry, 403-588-0629 (Cell), 403-886-3286 (Office).

If further assistance is needed:

Innisfail RCMP: 403-227-3342

In case of an emergency, call 911

Crime Stoppers (Red Deer Area): 403-340-8477

PUBLIC WORKS ANNUAL SPRING CLEAN UP

The Town of Penhold’s Annual Spring Clean

Up will be held May 22 to June 1, 2015.

Garbage containers will be placed at the

Lincoln Street Recreation Area.

It will be the RESIDENTS RESPONSIBILITY to

bring any unwanted items to the bins during

this time.

The town will continue to pick up appliances

if you are unable to transport them. There

will be designated areas for tires, propane

bottles and batteries.

NO OILS, PAINTS, ANTIFREEZE OR CHEMICALS

OF ANY KIND WILL BE ACCEPTED.

No yard waste will be accepted at the Spring

Clean-Up. Please take all yard waste to the

designated yard waste compost area.

TJ’S LAWNCARE 403-886-5880

TJ’S Lawncare has been serving Innisfail to Red Deer Area for the past 5 years and we just moved

the business to the Penhold area.

We are offering spring start ups for your lawn which include power raking and aerating as well as

fertilizing. We are also taking new weekly lawn care customers in Town as well as surrounding

Acreages.

Call for your estimate!

YARD WASTE COMPOST

For the months of May through October a temporary drop off location will be set up

for Yard Waste compost south of the Multiplex.

Accepted items are:

grass clippings

leaves

branches (no longer than 4’ or 1” in diameter)

No bags and no garbage please!

DRAINAGE

It is illegal to have any storm drainage draining into the sewer system, check down

spouts for illegal connections. If they exist have them removed immediately as the

extra flows can over load the sewer system and create sewer backups. It is also

important to understand that any water entering the sewer system is accompanied

with costs. The Town of Penhold must pay treatment and transmission costs for any

water entering the sewer system. These costs have a direct effect on utility rates. The

more water entering our sewer system the greater chance of utility rate increases.

CURB STOPS

If your curb stop has risen above ground level over the winter months please call the

Public Works department at 403-886-3282 and we will try to rectify the problem.

WATER LINE FLUSHING

Public Works will be doing their spring water line flushing throughout town. This

process may cause you to experience dirty water. To clear your lines please let your

taps run until clear. If the problem persists please give us a call at 403-886-3282.

Recycle & Reuse

During the annual spring clean up (May 22 to

June 1) there will be a designated area marked

FREE at Lincoln Street Park.

This area is for recycling items that you no

longer want, but could be considered treasures

to others in our community.

COMMUNITY SERVICES

Mental health means striking a balance in all aspects of your life:

social, physical, spiritual, economic and mental. Reaching a

balance is a learning process. At times, you may tip the balance

too much in one direction and have to find your footing again.

Your personal balance will be unique, and your challenge will be

to stay mentally healthy by keeping that balance (CMHA).

Community Fundraiser to support our community

Committee, Penhold School Parent Action Committee,

Community Ties, Penhold Museum, Optimist Club, Penhold

Church, Girl Guides, Kids Kingdom

As part of the Community Services Advisory Board we are looking at

creative ways to fundraise for our community not-for-profit groups. The

number one issue with each group is funding. At our March 2015 meeting

we decided to pursue a community bottle fundraiser.

The fundraisers will utilize an old trailer to be placed around our community

for people to recycle their bottles. This traveling trailer could be parked in

front of local businesses for community members to drop off their bottles.

Each week we will announce the new location of the travelling trailer. This

will allow community fundraising, support of local business and encourage

our citizens to get involved.

All the money raised will go to support our local community groups and

valued programs.

In order to start this program we need help from the community: we need a small enclosed trailer!

Improve Your Childs Listening Skills ( Tip Sheet for all ages)

Kids will be kids, its inevitable there will be times when your little angel will toss their wings aside and choose not to listen.

Children have a very short attention span so they need little reminders throughout the day to help develop responsibility. The more

you talk, though, the less they will listen, so simple directions are the way to go.

Here are some tips to improve listening skills:

Avoid Lecturing, after 3 words a child shuts you out and stops listening.

Avoid the use of negative words, like “stop”, “don’t” and “no”. Use more positive fraises like “walking feet in the house” or

“hands are not for hitting”.

Keep directions simple, especially for younger children.

Use one word as a kind reminder. Examples: dishes, socks, toys, bedtime.

Develop a plan with your child. When agreements are made together all you should need is one word.

As always, be a role model. Take the time to show your child you are listening to them. Allow them to talk without giving them

the words.

If you would like some more information on tips for Toddlers,

please email [email protected]
