Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete an online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. The survey is open until Friday, November 6, 2026.

Paper copies are also available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. To request a survey by mail, email engagement@saskatoon.ca.

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.

Prefer to participate in person?

Join the final tax policy information presentation and community conversation:

Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:00–8:00 p.m.
Committee Room 'E'
City Hall, 222 Third Avenue North - Accessible entrance, use Door 1A off 4th Avenue.

This session will continue to focus on gathering public input about how the total municipal property tax requirement should be distributed between residential and non-residential property classes. Attend to learn more, ask questions and share your input.

While the session is intended to encourage participation from residential property owners and renters, all interested Saskatoon residents and stakeholders are welcome.

To register, email engagement@saskatoon.ca with the subject line Property Tax Policy Project 2026 Community Event before 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

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.

Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more and participate.

The Sport Projects Grant provides project funding to sports organizations based in Saskatoon for equipment purchases (sports or office), facility upgrades, governance reviews, strategic planning, feasibility studies, website development, or market research aimed at refocusing development.
