SASKATOON – The city is reminding property owners, residential and commercial, that Friday is the last day to file a formal assessment appeal with the Board of Revision regarding the valuation, classification or content of property assessment.
A property owner does not need to receive an assessment notice in 2022 to file a formal assessment appeal this year. Information on the appeal process and required fees can be found at saskatoon.ca/assessmentappeals.
The 2022 Assessment Notices were mailed only to residential and commercial property owners who since Jan. 1, 2021, had a change to their property’s assessment, tax status or ownership.
To pose questions on property assessment, tax class, or exemption status, call Assessment and Valuation at 306-975-3227.
Most assessment-related questions can be resolved by speaking with an assessor before deciding to proceed with a formal appeal with fees, according to the city. Property owners can also review the detailed assessment and tax information the city has on file about their property by entering the property’s address into the Property Assessment and Tax Tool.
To proceed with a formal Notice of Assessment Appeal, mail or deliver your cheque/money order for the fee before Feb. 4, to:
The Secretary, Board of Revision c/o City Clerk’s Office 222 3rd Ave North Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 0J5
Property owners also have the option to apply for and pay online for property assessment appeals. Information on this new process is available at saskatoon.ca/assessmentappeals.
Assessment appeal hearings are public hearings. All documents filed for an assessment appeal are public records, subject to certain exceptions in The Cities Act or a confidentiality order made by the board, and will be posted on the city of Saskatoon website
