Due to the windy weather we've been experiencing of late, Town maintenance will make another round for branch pick-up next Wednesday.

We have 24 listed sales for Saturday, June 11th from 9 am - 4 pm!
From the home page>Community>Community to access a printable version of the map.
If you're hosting a sale you might want to print a few copies to have on hand for visiting customers as they peruse your used treasures.

Get ready to register the kids for swimming lessons! Please use the printable form available via our home page>Recreation & Culture>Swimming Pool; & print as many forms as necessary. We request that due to limited class sizes that only one session week is chosen per child, at a time. Fill out a new form indicating the desired session week if more weeks are necessary. All lesson groups are available for each session week.
You can also call the office to register until the opening of the pool. Once the pool is officially open, all registrations will need to be directed to the pool staff. Call 306-784-2417.

Click on the highlighed link to view SAMA's informational pamphlet regarding: How Property Assessment Works in Saskatchewan. It clarifies SAMA's role in the assessment process.

Once the municipal assessment roll has been completed, homeowners are given the opportunity to appeal a property assessment. However, it's important to understand that the appeal process is about appealing an error in the assessed value of your property or classification of your property; homeowner's cannot appeal their tax levy.

Unfortunately, the Town has to take steps to ensure individual property taxes are kept in check & owners given the opportunity to amend their tax roll prior to the current year tax levy being rolled out, which will be June 1st of this year.

On April 1st, anyone with outstanding amounts received a statement from us outlining the total amount due. You'll have to call the office for the actual levy amount if you don't have the 2021 Tax Notice at hand. Essentially, 1/2 of the levy amount plus arrears (interest charges, etc.) must be paid by May 15th in order for your property not to be included in the tax enforement process. A call to the Town CAO, would not go amiss at this point & encourage those to do so if full payment isn't possible.

Now is the time most municipalities are starting to prepare their 2022 assessment rolls. Remember all property must be assessed. If you have property within your municipality that does not have an assessed value, you will need to contact the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA).
