TIPPS: Tax Installment Payment Plan Service
The Tax Installment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS) allows you to pay your taxes monthly with no additional charges. To participate, you must have a chequing account at a bank or financial institution.
To enrol
You can enrol in the program at any time during the year. However, a catch-up payment may be required when signing up within the tax year that is owing. The City must receive your application by the 15th of the month to be accepted for the following month.
To enroll, print off the TIPPS Application Form TIPPS Application Form and send it in along with a "void" cheque to:
City of Regina "TIPPS" PO Box 5042 Regina, SK S4P 3M3
Date funds are withdrawn
Withdrawals are made on the first business day of each month. Payments are adjusted in July, after the new mill rate is set. No penalties apply if payments are made according to the guidelines.
If any payments are missed, the City may remove you from TIPPS and request payment of the total outstanding taxes, plus penalties.
Changing your banking information
If you wish to change the account used for your TIPPS payment, print off the
TIPPS Banking Information Change Form form and send to City Hall. The City must receive your written notice before the 15th of the month to take effect the following month.
Your written notice must include a "void" cheque from the new account (or other verification if it is not a chequing account.) You can provide this information by either:
- Dropping it off at City Hall (4th Floor)
- Mailing it to "TIPPS", PO Box 5042, Regina, SK, S4P 3M3
Withdrawing from TIPPS
You can withdraw from TIPPS by giving written notice 2 weeks prior to the next scheduled payment (by the 15th of the month) to the Assessment and Taxation Branch, Property Taxation and Administration. To withdaw, print out the TIPPS Cancellation Form form and send to the address listed above.
Moving to a new house
TIPPS participation is not transferable if you sell your home.
You must withdraw from the TIPPS program for your old property and complete a new application to enrol your new property on TIPPS. TIPPS payments are non-refundable.
