News Releases

Saskatoon Light & Power will begin removing seasonal decorations starting January 15. Over the next few weeks, work will impact various roadways including:

• University Bridge – Tuesday, January 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  
• 2^nd Avenue – Sunday, January 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

This will be a moving work zone and will impact traffic in both directions. Drivers are reminded to slow down in work zones and be respectful of workers.

The Decorative Lighting Program provides lit and unlit seasonal decorations on street light poles in many of Saskatoon’s major commercial areas over the winter season. The decorations provide a welcoming ambience, supporting the Winter City Strategy by providing more lighting to make the darker winter season more inviting and beautiful. While some are removed in January, the remainder of the decorations are turned off and removed after the spring equinox.

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.

Stay informed about your property's new assessed value! As 2025 is a provincial reassessment year, the City of Saskatoon will begin mailing Notices of 2025 Reassessment for residential and commercial properties starting January 27, 2025.

Get an early preview -- starting Wednesday, January 8, 2025, you can preview your property’s new 2025 assessed value by using the Property Assessment & Tax Tool found at saskatoon.ca/taxtool. You will also be able to review how your new assessment was created via the sales data used in the assessment model for your property class type and check information about the residential markets.

Why reassessment matters: In Saskatchewan, provincial legislation mandates a reassessment of all property types every four years. This ensures that property values reflect a more current, accurate, and fair market value. For the 2025 assessment, your property's value will be updated from the 2019 base date to a new base date of January 1, 2023. This updated value will be one factor in calculating your property tax for the next four years.

Important dates:

• January 27 to March 28, 2025: The City's 2025 Assessment Roll is open for public inspection. The assessment roll is a listing of all property assessments by class in Saskatoon.
• January 27 to March 28, 2025: The 60-Day Assessment Review & Formal Appeal period. If, after speaking with an assessor, you wish to appeal your property’s assessment in 2025, you must do so within this timeframe.
• January 27, 2025: The City will launch an easy-to-use Revenue Neutral Property Tax Calculator. This tool will allow you to get an early estimate of your 2025 property tax amount before phase-in and budget adjustments are finalized in March 2025.
• March 2025 to April 2025: Amended Assessment Notices will be mailed to properties that require an update to their assessed value for the full year.
• March 2025: Tax Policy reports go to City Council for review and approval.
• Early May 2025: 2025 Property Tax notices will be mailed.
• June 30, 2025: 2025 Property Tax payments due.
• July to December 2025: Supplementary Assessment Notices will be mailed to properties that require an update to their assessed value for less than a full year.

We’re here to help:

• Visit saskatoon.ca/assessment
• Email: assessmentsubmit@saskatoon.ca
• Speak with a City Assessor: 306-975-3227
• Make an in-person appointment with a City Assessor: 306-975-3227

The repeal of Bylaw No. 8770, Zoning Bylaw, 2009 and replacement with Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024, was given Ministerial approval by the Government of Saskatchewan and is in effect as of January 3, 2025. This is the result of a multi-year process that worked closely with stakeholders to modernize and simplify Saskatoon’s zoning.

The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that facilitates implementation of the City of Saskatoon's Official Community Plan. All land in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning district and subject to development standards associated with the zoning district. Parking, permitted uses, and setbacks are included in these regulations.

Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024 will be available on the City of Saskatoon website at saskatoon.ca/city-hall/city-bylaws-policies/city-bylaws.
