How to create and use MySama Account
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.
You have received an assessment notice because you took out 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. The Assessment Notice is not to be confused with a tax notice (which is mailed/emailed out in May).
You can contact the Director of Finance, Dagmar Crumley, at the Town Office at 306-781-3406 for an explanation of your assessment and to understand why you received this. You can also contact SAMA (Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency) by phone at 306-924-8000 for specific inquiries on your assessment, as assessments are completed by the SAMA on behalf of the Town of Pilot Butte.
You can also create an account on the MySama website www.mysama.ca to view more details of your assessment. The SAMAView feature allows the general public to search, view and compare individual property assessments. General public users have free access to SAMAView and will receive 25 credits per revaluation cycle. These credits are only used when ordering a property report at a rate of one credit per report.
You may make an assessment appeal if you believe there has been an error in the assessed value, the classification, the contents of the assessment roll or the assessment notice. You must provide specific grounds supporting the appeal and are required to provide as many details as possible and all facts and evidence that an error has been made. There is a $75.00 appeal fee which must accompany the appeal and will be returned if the appeal is successful. Appeals can be sent to: Jeannie Devers, Secretary, Board of Revision, Box 253, 222 Diamond Place, Pilot Butte, SK. S0G 3Z0 by the 8th day of April, 2024. The assessor information is as follows: Dagmar Crumley, Box 253, 222 Diamond Place, Pilot Butte, SK S0G 3Z0.
It is your responsibility to make a case to the Board of Revision. It may be as simple as proving that dimensions or measurements are wrong or that a classification is not correct, or as complex as proving that the value of a property is not fairly assessed compared to another property that is similar in nature.
The grounds for the appeal must be detailed. Phrases such as “assessment too high” or “assessment too low” are NOT sufficient.
