Assessments

The 2026 Town of Pilot Butte Assessment Notices have been sent on April 29, 2026.
If you did not receive an assessment notice, there are likely no changes to the assessed value or your property.

The 2026 Assessment Roll is open as of April 30, 2026, which means, any person can access assessment information about their property or any other property in the municipality, by visiting the SAMAView website.  The Assessment Roll can be viewed at the Town Office during regular business hours, or digitally by clicking on the PDF below.

Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) is responsible for providing municipalities in Saskatchewan with the assessed values of land and improvements (buildings or structures) in order for the municipality to calculate property taxes.

APPEAL INFORMATION:

If you believe there is a mistake in your assessment you may appeal your assessment within the 30 days from when the assessment roll is open. You are first required to contact SAMA to discuss the assessment with them. An appeal should be filed by completing the form on the back of your Assessment Notice and delivering it to the Pilot Butte Municipal Office – 222 Diamond Place with the $300 appeal fee. If your appeal is successful, you will be refunded the full $300 fee. The appeal fee helps cover the costs associated with the Resident Appeal Board reviewing and hearing an appeal. The Board is made up of three members of the public who meet as needed—often multiple times—to carefully consider each appeal throughout the review process.

Property Assessment is the process of determining a property’s assessed value as of a specific date for property tax purposes. The assessment provides an estimate of the property’s value that reflects typical market conditions. These values are used for the distribution of property taxes among property owners. Assessments are completed by the SAMA (Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency) on behalf of the Town of Pilot Butte.

If you had obtained a building permit for a new home, garage, addition, renovation or demolition or if the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) had a callback notification in their files, or a change of ownership had occurred you may receive an Assessment Notice in spring. This notice will indicate what changes are being made to the assessed value of your home and provide information on how to appeal the assessment if it is incorrect.  As stated in The Municipalities Act, you have 30 days to appeal the assessment from when the assessment roll is open.

How Property Assessment Works in Saskatchewan

The Assessment Notice is not to be confused with a tax notice (which is mailed/emailed out in May).

If you believe there is a mistake in your assessment you may appeal your assessment within the 30 days from when the assessment roll is open. You are first required to contact SAMA to discuss the assessment with them. An appeal should be filed by completing the form on the back of your Assessment Notice and delivering it to the Pilot Butte Municipal Office – 222 Diamond Place with the $300 appeal fee.
