For Immediate Release:  May 2, 2014

Starting at 4:00 p.m. Friday, May 2, 2014 until approximately 4:00 p.m. Monday, May 5, 2014 two tax applications on the City of Saskatoon’s website, saskatoon.ca, will undergo a temporary service disruption:

The Property Assessment & Tax Tool, found on the saskatoon.ca homepage requires software upgrades to accommodate the updating of new property tax data for 2014. Also, the Property Tax Search & Certificates (ePTSC) application (dedicated access for banks, realtors, lawyers, mortgage companies) will be reconfigured and not be available for use during this time.  

The mail-out of the 2014 Property Tax Notice to residents will start next week, and the updating of these tax applications will support this, allowing website users access to the new 2014 tax data.

The City of Saskatoon is focused on continuous improvement and aims to provide the best high-quality services to meet the high expectations of our citizens. We apologize for any inconvenience to residents over the weekend updating of these applications.

Visit saskatoon.ca and look under ‘P’ for Property Tax for an overview of 2014 Property Tax information.
