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 change for 2023.
The RM 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.

Understanding Your Assessment Notice
Assessment Appeals
If you feel your assessment is in error you can appeal it if you have sufficient grounds for the appeal.

The more information you can provide to back up your grounds for appeal the better.
Any person with an interest in the assessed value or the classification of property can appeal the property assessment.

To have this exemption applied to your dwelling, you must complete and return this form to the municipal office by March 31st each year. |
