The City of Weyburn taxation process is as follows:
- Preparation of the annual assessment roll is completed on or before April 1 of each year unless the date is extended by a bylaw of Council. Once completed, Tax/Assessment notices are sent out by ordinary mail and advertised in the local newspaper.
- The City of Weyburn mails your Property Tax/Assessment Notices in May each year.
- The Tax/Assessment notice shows the assessed and taxable value of your property for both the previous and current year for comparison purposes.
- The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency provides the City with a “Detailed Property Profile” for each property that they assess. We encourage everyone to review their “Detailed Property Profile” to determine how your property is assessed. Each year the assessment roll is open to inspection for the public for a period of 30 days (60 days in a revaluation year)
- To determine property tax, the taxable assessment is multiplied by the mill rates set each year.
- The Municipal mill rate is determined annually based on budgeted needs after considering all other sources of revenue.
- The Education mill rate is established by the province. The City levies, collects and then remits Education Property Taxes to the province – they are included on your property tax notice but are not kept for City use.
- 2025 is an Assessment Revaluation Year in Saskatchewan
- A reassessment of all property classes is required by provincial legislation at least every four years so that property values are more up-to-date, accurate and fair; 2025 is a provincial reassessment year and the start of the current four-year assessment cycle.
- 2025 Revaluation Year (2025 – 2028) base date January 1, 2023.
- Your property’s 2025 reassessed value will be used as the starting point to calculate your property tax for the years 2025-2028 and will remain in place until the next provincially legislated reassessment of all property types in 2029.
- Previous Revaluation Year was 2021 (2021 – 2025) base date January 1, 2019
- Penalties start being applied: Aug. 1 (1.50%), Sept. 1 (1.50%), Oct. 1 (1.50%), Nov. 1 (1.50%), Dec. 1 (1.50%).
- Amounts not paid by Dec. 31 will have a 10% penalty added (amounts unpaid as of this time may be subject to tax enforcement).
