2014 PROPERTY TAX NOTICES: NEW LOOK! SHORTER FORMAT, EASIER TO READ
Your 2014 Property Tax Notice will look different this spring. The City of Saskatoon has revealed a new look and simpler format that is easier to read.
To arrive at the new format, the City considered previous feedback from citizens and from our front-line customer services staff, incorporated the goals of City Council, and also included elements of best practises from other municipalities. In preparing the new format, the City also considered the use of clear language, important to all property owners, both new and existing.
The 2014 Property Tax Notice Project is now on our shapingsaskatoon.ca website. Look under “Discussions.” You can view a sample of the new format, detailed information on what you will find on the 2014 Property Tax Notice, along with Frequently Asked Questions.
The Shaping Saskatoon discussion on the new Property Tax Notice format also gives a great opportunity for you to tell us about other tax-related information you wish to see on our website. Are you able to find answers to tax questions under “P” for Property Tax? As we undertake the ongoing development of our new website, your comments will help us give better service.
Shaping Saskatoon is the City’s new online community engagement tool. It is easy to use and a great place to share your comments, and learn more about new projects that interest you. Citizen feedback on the new Property Tax Notice format is important to us, and will be considered for the finalized version this spring.
The City of Saskatoon strives to be the best managed city in Canada through an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. With a goal of consistently providing high quality service to citizens, the City continues to respond to the needs of the changing community by looking at things differently – and then making them better.
