PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) provides a “SAMA View” website which allows you to search property assessment information in any municipality where assessment services were provided by SAMA and allows comparison of assessments between similar properties. The SAMA View tool can be found at https://www.sama.sk.ca/property-owner-services/assessments
SAMA (Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency)
The provincial government mandates SAMA to conduct periodic revaluations of all Saskatchewan properties every four years to coincide with the change to a new base date. The current revaluation was completed in 2021 using the 2019 base year. When a revaluation is completed, SAMA provides new values to each of our clients. Provincial legislation requires municipalities to use these values when determining taxes.
