The City of Saskatoon is seeking feedback on how property taxes are distributed and shared between residential and commercial properties.
The city launched a survey inviting residents, property owners, renters and stakeholders to share their thoughts on the city’s future property tax policy, focusing on the split between residential and commercial.

The city said its tax policies are reviewed every four years, to align with Saskatchewan’s reassessment cycle.
“The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next sets Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029,” the city said in a statement.
“The survey also asks participants to identify their preferred ways to receive information about tax policy or assessment, and how the City’s tax policy can be more clearly communicated to residents.”
The city noted that the survey is meant to gauge public opinion, not to measure support for any specific decisions or outcomes.
Additionally, the city is hosting a community engagement session on the topic at city hall on Wednesday evening, from 6-8 p.m. Attendees were asked to register in advance.
“This tax policy engagement session will continue to focus on how the total municipal property tax requirement, as set through the City’s budget, is distributed between residential and non-residential property owners,” the city said.
Printed copies of the survey will be available at city hall and must be returned by Oct. 23.
