The City of Saskatoon will begin mailing out more than 102,000 property tax notices today, Wednesday, May 6. Property owners should expect their 2026 Property Tax notice to arrive in the coming weeks. Each notice will include a 2026 Property Tax Notice Guide with key information. Property owners who have not received their tax notice by May 31, 2026, should call 306-975-2400.

New online option to property tax notices and more coming fall 2026

The City of Saskatoon is preparing to launch MyProperty this fall. MyProperty is a new online service option that will give residents a convenient way to view, download and manage property tax and assessment notices, utility billing and other services in one secure location.

Property owners will find a unique access code printed on page one of their 2026 Property Tax notice. Those who prefer online access should keep this code to create a MyProperty account when the service launches. Paper notices will continue for residents who prefer them. Learn more at saskatoon.ca/mypropertyinfo.

Your payment methods

• Several payment options are available, including the monthly Tax Instalment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS). Property owners may apply to join TIPPS at any time.
• For those already enrolled in TIPPS, the amount showing on the 2026 Property Tax notice is for information purposes only.
• No late payment penalties apply if the full 2026 Property Tax amount due is paid by the deadline of Monday, June 30, 2026.
• Not receiving a property tax notice does not exempt a property owner from late payment penalties.
