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.
Alberta Municipalities
The 2025-26 budget for the Grants in Place of Taxes program is $55.3 million. Budget 2025 restores GIPOT funding over 2 years.
All eligible GIPOT application amounts will be paid at 75% in 2025-26, with a small number of priority applications continuing to be fully funded. In 2026-27 all eligible GIPOT application amounts will be paid at 100%.
