Municipal Assessment and Taxation
roperty 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 2025. If there have been no changes to your property since the reassessed value change in 2025, there will be no changes until 2029.
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.

What is the Relationship between Property Assessment and Taxes?
SAMA has been mandated the responsibility for determining assessment values for all properties, while the task of setting property taxes belongs to municipal governments. The relationship between assessment and taxes comes from the fact that municipal governments levy taxes as a "mill rate" that is charged as a proportion of a property's assessment value. 
SAMA first determines the assessed value for the property. After than, a provincial government tax policy is applied. The policy multiplies a percentage formula against the assessed value, producing what is called the taxable value.

Assessment Appeals
If you feel your assessment is in error you can appeal it if you have sufficient grounds for the appeal. For example, perhaps SAMA has rated the condition of your property 'average', but you feel it is in 'poor' condition, or they have assessed a deck on your property in 2002 and the deck has since been removed.
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.
You can appeal if you believe there has been an error in:
