Residential and commercial property owners, if you would like to file a formal appeal with the City’s Board of Revision regarding the valuation, classification or content of your property’s assessment the deadline to do so is Friday, February 4, 2022.

A property owner did 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.

This January 2022 Assessment Notices were only mailed to residential and commercial property owners who since January 1, 2021, had a change to their property’s assessment, tax status or ownership. (Bylaw No. 8067, Assessment Notices Bylaw, 2002).

Property owners, if you have questions about your property's assessment, tax class, or exemption status, please contact Assessment & Valuation at 306-975-3227, we’re here to help. Most assessment-related questions can be resolved by speaking with an assessor before deciding to proceed with a formal appeal with fees. 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 & Tax Tool.

To proceed with a formal Notice of Assessment Appeal, mail or deliver your cheque/money order for the fee before February 4, 2022, to:

The Secretary, Board of Revision
c/o City Clerk’s Office
222 3^rd Ave North
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan   S7K 0J5

Property owners also now 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

The City’s 2022 Assessment Roll, a listing of all property assessments in Saskatoon, has been open for public inspection since January 4, 2022, and will remain open until February 4, 2022. Due to COVID-19 protocol, public inspection is by appointment only, please call 306-975-3227 to book an appointment or to speak with an assessor.

Visit saskatoon.ca/assessment for more assessment information including how to make a change to school tax support, and other important dates in 2022, or call 306-975-3240 for more information on the Board of Revision assessment appeal process.

This weekend’s on and off snowfall has resulted in a total accumulation of 7 cms, meeting the City’s threshold to declare its 4^th snow event of the winter. At 5cm or greater, the City calls in contractor graders to help grade all priority streets quickly.  Contractors also assist in clearing snow from sidewalks, pathways and walkways on bridges.  Priority streets include the busiest streets in Saskatoon such as freeways, arterials, collectors and school zones. 

Although most of the freezing rain predicted for Saskatoon missed us, the City still recommends drivers and pedestrians use caution on streets and sidewalks this evening and for the morning commute. Drivers should adjust their driving for the road conditions, slow down and use extra caution, leave extra room between cars, and watch for blue and yellow flashing lights on the City’s road equipment.

With the snow, fluctuating temperatures and a return to the -20’sC forecast for overnight, City crews will continue to monitor road conditions and apply de-icing materials to improve traction along priority streets, bridge decks and busy intersections. 

With higher-than-average snowfalls so far this winter, the snow piles are getting bigger along priority streets. Removal of these piles is ongoing however, with the changing weather it will be interrupted as staff are reassigned to ensure driving lanes on priority streets are in good condition. 

A reminder for people on residential streets where grading did not occur this winter: residential streets will be graded just before the spring melt if the snowpack on streets is 15 centimetres thick. This will help prevent deep ruts as the snow softens. The graded snow would be stored in piles in the parking lane and would not be removed.
