Taxation & Assessments

Municipal taxes are used to pay for various services and utilities that everyone in the Rural Municipality (RM) uses. This includes things like road maintenance (except for provincial highways), water and sewer services, safety officers, public works, staff salaries, and governance costs.

Each year, RM staff create a list of projects that need funding. The Council reviews this list and includes it in the budget. After the budget is finalized, the total amount needed is used to determine the tax rate for each property in 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

Payment Methods

Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA)

SAMA is contracted to determine the fair value of all property within the municipality. All assessments are determined according to a base date, and a reassessment is completed on all properties every 4 years (as set by provincial regulations). SAMA reassessed all municipal properties in 2025; the next assessment year is scheduled for 2029.

You can learn more about your property-specific assessment value by visiting the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA).

2025 Mill Rates

To calculate your annual tax, you can use the following equation:

Municipal Taxes	Taxable Assessment Value x Municipal Mill Rate x Mill Rate Factor / 1000 = Municipal Taxes
School Taxes	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
