Taxes & Assessment

2025 Assessment & Tax Notices

The 2025 Assessments will be mailed out in April. 2025 is a Revaluation year so all ratepayers will be receiving this Assessment Notice. PLEASE NOTE: Assessment is property valuation NOT what your Taxes are for 2025.

Provincial legislation requires that the assessed value of all properties within Saskatchewan be updated every four years. This is because property values change over time due to changing market conditions.

Property assessments have been updated to reflect property values as of January 1, 2023.

It means that the assessed value of your property might change.

SAMA is the agency that completes the Revaluation. Visit their site for resources and information relating to how this is conducted: SAMA - Revaluations

Questions about your Assessment?

Sama provides an online database SAMAVIEW which allows property owners to review the details on their assessment. We encourage ratepayers to utilize this service to review the particulars of their properties for accuracy.

Why is the estimated assessed value of my house so different from what houses in my area are selling for?

It is important to remember the 2025 revaluation is based on a valuation base date of January 1, 2023. The current sale prices of property in your area are a reflection of the current market values. Property sales occurring after January 1, 2023, will be considered for the future 2029 revaluation

The Municipality will update its mill rate to reflect the updated property values, this mill rate will be used in the calculation to determine property taxes. Final numbers have been received by the Municipality and Tax Notices will be mailed in May.

Assessment

The RM of Wilton uses the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) to calculate and update all assessments with the municipality. SAMA performs annual maintenance updates to properties showing an increase or decrease in assessment. Every four years full revaluations on all properties province wide are carried out. 2029 will be a revaluation year. More information on SAMA and assessments can be found at http://www.sama.sk.ca

Online search for property assessment information in municipalities where assessment services are provided by SAMA can be found on SAMAVIEW at http://samaview.sama.sk.ca/sama

Calculating Taxable Assessments

SAMA first determines the assessed value for the property. After that, a provincial government tax policy is applied. The policy multiplies a percentage formula against the assessed value, producing what is called the taxable value.

Provincial Property Classes and Percentages of Value:

Property Class	Taxable Percentage
(A) Agriculture	55%
(N) Non-arable (Range)	45%
(R) Residential	80%
(C) Commercial	85% *
(E) Elevators	85% *
(P) Railway	85% *

* These classes were reduced from 100% to 85% by the province in 2021.
