Important dates and information for residential and commercial property owners:
- If you have questions about your property's assessment, tax class, or exemption status, please contact Assessment & Valuation at 306-975-3227. Most assessment-related questions can be resolved by speaking with an assessor before deciding to file a formal appeal for your property.
