Reminder: residents invited to share input on City's future tax policy; survey open, community event November 4
Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete an online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. Paper copies are available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. To request a survey by mail, email engagement@saskatoon.ca.The tax policy survey is open for public input until Friday, November 6, 2026.
What the tax policy engagement survey is about
This survey asks about one part of tax policy: how should the total municipal property tax requirement, set through the City’s budget process, be distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) properties?
The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next sets Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029. Historically, the City’s tax policy is reviewed by City Council every four years to align with Saskatchewan’s provincially legislated reassessment cycle. The survey also asks participants to identify their preferred ways to receive information about tax policy or assessment, and how the City’s tax policy can be more clearly communicated to residents.
The tax policy survey 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 tax policy information provided before completing the survey.

Residential property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are also invited to an information presentation and community conversation:
