The deadline to appeal is May 7, 2025. Property assessment appeals may be initiated by any person with an interest in, or that is affected by, the assessed value or classification of any property. You can appeal if you believe there has been an error involving property valuation, property classification, and exemption, the contents of the assessment roll or the assessment notice; however there is no provision to appeal property taxes. A notice of appeal form is included with the assessment notice or is available at the municipal office. You can read the Assessment Appeal Guide for Citizen's to learn more about the appeal process.

The Assessment Process and Its Relation to Taxes
SAMA will first determine an assessed value for properties. After that, a provincial government tax policy is applied. The policy multiplies a percentage formula against the assessed value, producing what is called the taxable value.

Calculating Your Estimated 2024 Municipal & Education Property Tax (will be updated once mill rates are determined)
To assist with estimating your 2024 property tax levy we have illustrated examples for the different property tax classes. The mill rate used to calculate the public and separate education property tax is the same.
The Final Taxable Value required for calculation is shown on the assessment notice for land and improvements by class.
The effective Mill Rate required for calculating the municipal levy and school levy for each class are shown below.
Tax Class | Taxable Value | X | Effective Mill Rate (**SAMPLE ONLY) | X | Mill Rate Factor | = | Levy |
