Lacombe Regional Waste Services Commission (LRWSC) will complete significant maintenance at its various transfer sites during the month of August and September. The scope of these repairs requires that they shut down the various sites for a period of up to two weeks to complete the work.  In order to accommodate the public during these times, an alternate opening schedule will be available, as listed below. 

Please go to the following alternate designated site during these times.  Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these significant repairs.

Municipal property tax notices were recently mailed out to Lacombe County ratepayers and should be appearing in mailboxes in the coming week. If you do not receive your 2020 tax notice by mid-July, please contact Lacombe County’s Assessment Department at 403-782-6601.

“We encourage ratepayers to be proactive and make sure their tax notice was received by Lacombe County,” said Michael Minchin, Director of Corporate Services. “This year’s property tax payment deadline has been extended to September 30, 2020 to better align with the education requisition deadline for non-residential properties.”

With Canada Day celebrations approaching, Lacombe County reminds all residents that a fireworks permit is required if you wish to sell, purchase or set off fireworks within Lacombe County.

“Canada Day is a popular occasion to set off fireworks, but regardless of the time of the year, a permit is required within Lacombe County if you plan on shooting off fireworks,” says Drayton Bussiere Lacombe County Fire Chief. “Lacombe County regulates the use of fireworks through a permitting system. All you have to do is fill out and submit a Fireworks Permit form.”
