Declaring your support for Catholic Schools
Catholic school boards connect with their supporters through the declaration of school property taxes.
With a clear indication of support from property owners, your school Board of Trustees can more effectively advocate to Government to ensure that legislation and funding support student success. Declaring your taxes in support of the Edmonton Catholic School Division is an important way for you to advocate for publicly funded Catholic education in Alberta.
Property owners choose how to allocate their school support. To ensure your property taxes are supporting your Catholic school, make sure that your school support is shown as “separate” on your annual property assessment notice. If a declaration of school support is not filed by a property owner, the school support will be listed as “undeclared”.
You can change the school support designation by completing and submitting a “School Support Declaration" form by mail or call 311 (780-442-5311, if outside Edmonton) to have the form mailed to you.
