How to appeal your property assessment in Saskatchewan
In Saskatchewan, SAMA assesses most municipalities and Saskatoon and Regina assess their own, using a 2023 base date until the 2029 revaluation. You appeal to your municipality's Board of Revision within the window on your notice (Saskatoon 2026: January 5 to February 6; Regina: 60 days, $30 per home), then to the Saskatchewan Municipal Board within 30 days of the decision.

City details

Tips
- Because values are pegged to a 2023 base date until 2029, today's sale prices aren't the test; compare with what similar homes sold for around the base date and with their assessments.
- Lenders don't use your assessment for a refinance; for borrowing, see the equity calculator.
Evidence wins appeals: sales of similar homes near the valuation date, similar homes' assessments, and corrections to the facts on your notice.
