More time to share your perspective: City's Tax Policy Survey extended to Sunday, November 15

The City of Saskatoon’s tax policy survey has been extended to Sunday, November 15. 

Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete the online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. 

Complete the survey before the deadline to share your perspective. Paper copies are also available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. 

What the survey is about

This survey focuses on one part of tax policy: how the City’s total municipal property tax requirement, set through the budget process, is shared or distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) property classes.

The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next reviews Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029. The City’s tax policy is typically reviewed every four years to align with Saskatchewan’s provincially legislated reassessment cycle.

The survey also asks participants how they prefer to receive information about tax policy and property assessment, and how the City can communicate tax policy more clearly.

This engagement is not intended to measure support for a specific decision or outcome. There are no right or wrong answers to the opinion questions. Residents are encouraged to review the background information before completing the survey.

Reporting back

Results from the tax policy focus groups, public survey, dedicated letters and emails received and the November 4 in-person session will be reported publicly as key themes, differing perspectives and areas of uncertainty. A What We Learned report will be shared with City Council in early 2027 and posted on the tax policy project page on Engage Saskatoon.

City Council wants to hear from Saskatoon residents. Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more and to complete the survey.
