Can I look up the exact amount I owe for my property taxes using the online Property Assessment & Tax Tool?
No. The information found using the Property Assessment Online Tool to search a property does not contain the full details of a specific tax account; it shows the tax levy in relation to a property's assessment.

The amount shown does not include other charges such as BIDS, phase-in and special charges. Please call 306-975-2400  for additional tax-related information you may be looking for.

What is the property taxation system in Saskatoon?
The City follows the guidelines established by the provincial government and uses a property assessment process to ensure that property owners with similar properties pay similar property taxes.

What are my property tax dollars used for? 
The municipal portion of property taxes retained by the City are used to fund the wide variety of core services residents rely on every day, including police and fire protection, transit, roadway maintenance, utility services and waste disposal. The City bills for and collects the education property tax and remits all of it to the Province on behalf of the Public and Separate School Boards. Library tax is billed and collected and allocated for the Public Library Board.

To view your portion of municipal tax and how it was distributed in 2024 (your 2025 allocation will be available for viewing in early May 2025) to key civic services in Saskatoon, slowly enter your street address first, and then your unit number in the easy-to-use online Property Assessment & Tax Tool. 

How is education tax determined? 
The City is provincially legislated to bill and collect education property tax. The Province of Saskatchewan sets the mill rates for education property tax for all public school divisions. The Saskatoon separate school division set their own mill rates and adopted the provincial mill rates. The City does not keep education property tax for use in providing City services.

Can I appeal any portion of my property tax?
No, only your property assessment can be appealed during the annual set Customer Review and Assessment Appeal Period. The Board of Revision ensures that your assessment is fair and equitable. If you appeal your property's assessed value and the Board makes a change, the decision changes the property assessment value in the year of assessment only - it cannot be made retroactive to previous years.
