Taxation & Assessment
Municipal taxes pay for all the services and utilities residents, business owners, and visitors to the RM use. This includes maintenance (on all roads except provincial highways), water and sewer, Community Safety Officers, public works, staff, and governance costs. Each year, RM staff bring forward a list of projects for funding, and Council reviews this list and adopts it as part of the budget. Once the budget for each year is created, the total budget value is used to calculate the tax rate for each property within the municipality.
Taxes are levied in August and are due on December 31st of each year. There are also early payment discounts if you pay your taxes before specific dates. These dates include:
Note: These discounts only apply to the municipal portion of your taxes, not the amount owed to the school board.
- 5% if paid by September 30th
- 4% if paid by October 31st
- 2% if paid by November 30th
2025 Taxation
To calculate your annual tax, you can use the following equation:
| Municipal Taxes | SAMA Taxable Assessment Value x Municipal Mill Rate x Mill Rate Factor / 1000 = Municipal Taxes |
| School Taxes | SAMA Taxable Assessment Value x School Mill Rate / 1000 = School Taxes |
For example, if you owned a residential property assessed at $420,000, the municipal mill rate was 4.9073, the residential municipal mill rate factor (MRF) was 1.05, and the residential school mill rate was 4.27, your property taxes would be:
| Municipal: | $420,000 x TBD Mill Rate x TBD MRF / 1000 | = $TBD |
| School: | $420,000 x 4.27 / 1000 | = $1,793.40 |
| Total Taxes | = $TBD |
