Change of Name or Mailing Address

Has Canada Post Changed Your Address?

Recently, some residents within Foothills County received notification from Canada Post that their mailing address was changing. Canada Post's intent of this change is to match the physical (civic) address to the mailing address for rural residents. If you’ve received this notification from Canada Post, it is your responsibility to notify the Land Titles Office with your address change, legal name changes and spelling corrections to your Certificate of Title.

For information on how to update your address change with the Land Titles Office, contact:
Land Titles Office: 403.297.6511
or visit:
Alberta Government Services Bldg.
2nd Floor, 710-4th Avenue SW
Calgary, AB  T2P 0K3  

If your new address from Canada Post has a Foothills or Heritage Pointe postal code, please check and ensure your new address matches your civic (911) address.  If they do not, please contact Foothills County at 403.603.6241.
