The City of Saskatoon will begin mailing out over 100,000 property tax notices tomorrow, Wednesday, May 7. Property owners should expect their 2025 Property Tax Notice to arrive in the coming weeks. If you do not receive your tax notice by May 30, 2025, please call 306-975-2400.

Key Points:

• Your tax notice will arrive with a 2025 Property Tax Notice Guide to key information found on your notice.
• Various payment options are available, including the monthly Tax Instalment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS). Join the TIPPS program anytime.

• No late payment penalties will be incurred if you pay your full 2025 Property Tax amount due by the Monday, June 30, 2025, deadline. Non-receipt of your property tax notice does not exempt you from late payment penalties.

Property’s Assessment & Property Tax:

All property types were reassessed in 2025 and will next be reassessed in 2029. Your property’s 2025 Assessed Value, shown on Page 1 of your property tax notice, is based on your property’s market value assessment as of January 1, 2023. This value provides the base for calculating your property tax for 2025 through to 2028. For more information and helpful videos, visit saskatoon.ca/assessment.
