The 2025 Town of Pilot Butte Assessment Notices have been mailed (March 4, 2025).

The Assessment Roll is now open, 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 will be open until May 6, 2025 (60 Days).

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

Provincial legislation requires that the assessed value of all properties within Saskatchewan be updated every four years. 2025 is a revaluation year and property assessments will be updated to reflect more current property values.

For the 2025 Revaluation, assessed values will be updated to reflect a new valuation base date of January 1, 2023. The legislated base date means that 2025 values reflect a property’s value as of January 1, 2023.

To learn more about SAMA and revaluation please visit the SAMA website or view the  SAMA A Look Ahead to 2025 Brochure

 

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