Tax Enforcement
Municipal taxes are due December 31 each year. Any arrears after that date are subject to 1% per month penalties. If taxes remain unpaid after two years, a tax lien will be registered against the property. If taxes remain unpaid a further six months, then the property enters into the tax enforcement process as governed by The Tax Enforcement Act.
Understanding Municipal Assessment and Taxation
Property assessment is the process of determining a property's assessed value for tax purposes. The assessed value is not the market value; however, the assessed value will closely resemble a current market value for most properties. All properties are reassessed every four years, the latest one done in 2021. If there have been no changes to your property since the reassessed value change in 2021, there will be no changes until 2025. The Town of Arborfield uses the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) to calculate and update all assessments within the municipality. SAMA performs annual maintenance updates to properties showing an increase or decrease in assessment.
Further information regarding Property Assessment and Taxation can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan website. Individual property assessments can be viewed online by using SamaView on the www.sama.sk.ca website.
