SASKATOON — The city of Saskatoon began mailing the 2023 assessment notices to approximately 15,000 residential and commercial property owners Jan. 3.
Property owners will receive a 2023 assessment notice only if there has been a change since Jan. 1, 2022, to their property’s assessment, tax status or ownership. (Bylaw No. 8067, Assessment Notices Bylaw, 2002).
The city’s 2023 Assessment Roll, a listing of all property assessments in Saskatoon, is also open for public inspection until Feb. 3. Inspection of the roll can be in person at the Assessment and Valuation Office located at 325 – 3rd Ave N, one block north of City Hall, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, or online at saskatoon.ca/taxtool.
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. Detailed assessment and tax information about your property can also be viewed by entering your property’s address into the Property Assessment & Tax Tool.
- If you would like to proceed with filing a formal appeal with the City’s Board of Revision regarding the valuation, classification or content of your property’s assessment, your Notice of Appeal and the accompanying fee must be received during the 30-day assessment review and appeal period Jan. 3 to Feb. 3.
- A property owner does not need to receive an assessment notice in 2023 to file a formal assessment appeal. Property taxes are not included in the appeal process. Information on the appeal process and required fees will be included in the 2023 assessment notice mailing.
- Property owners now have the option to apply for and pay online for property assessment appeals. Information on this is available at saskatoon.ca/assessmentappeals.
- To download an appeal form visit saskatoon.ca/assessmentappeals.
Mail or in-person deliver your assessment appeal and your cheque/money order for the fee to:
The Secretary, Board of Revision
c/o City Clerk’s Office
222 – 3rd Ave North

Assessment appeal hearings are public hearings. All documents filed for an assessment appeal are public records and will be posted on the city of Saskatoon website, subject to certain exceptions under The Cities Act or a confidentiality order made by the Board of Revision.
The factors used to determine a residential property's assessed value are detailed in the informative video Understanding Residential Property Assessment.
