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.

Prefer to talk about it in person? Plan to attend the tax policy information evening and community conversation

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

Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:00–8:00 p.m.
City Hall, 222-3^rd Avenue North
Room confirmation closer to event

This tax policy engagement session will continue to focus on gathering public input about how the total municipal property tax requirement, as set through the City’s budget, should be distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) property classes.

Attend to learn more about property tax policy at the City of Saskatoon, ask questions and share your perspective. 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.
Registration deadline: 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 2, 2026.

Public engagement results from earlier focus groups, the public survey and the November 4 in-person engagement event will be reported publicly as themes, differing perspectives and areas of uncertainty. The results will be shared in an Administrative What We Learned report to City Council in early 2027 and posted on the tax policy project page at Engage Saskatoon.

Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more about the City’s tax policy survey and to participate.

Starting October 20, Saskatoon Transit customers will have more ways to manage their fares with Version 8 of the Transit Go app (TGo) and an updated online Rider Portal.

These updates build on the launch of reloadable smart cards, which brought mobile ticketing and physical smart cards together on a single fare platform. Beginning October 20, customers can download or update the Transit Go app or visit the online Rider Portal to purchase fares, reload smart cards, check balances, view purchase history and manage their accounts online for most standard fare products, without visiting a vendor or the Transit Customer Service Centre.

This modernization allows up to five smart cards to be linked to one account, making it easier to manage fares for family members or groups. The desktop portal will support printable ticket purchases. It also introduces an optional stored-value feature, allowing customers to add funds to their account, pay fares using a Tap & Ride barcode, and purchase or reload fare products using their balance.

Riders who already use mobile tickets can continue using them as usual. Participating vendors and the Transit Customer Service Centre also remain available. Cash will continue to be accepted on board.

Some fare products, including those requiring eligibility verification or entitlement renewal, may still require an in-person visit.

Creating a Justride account helps customers manage their linked cards and account information. If a linked smart card is lost, customers can contact the Transit Customer Service Centre to ask about cancelling the card and transferring eligible remaining value or fare products to a replacement.

For more information about the updates and available features, visit saskatoontransit.ca/mobile.

Have questions? Contact Transit Customer Service at 306.975.3100 or transit.services@saskatoon.ca.
