Property assessment is the process of determining a properties assessed value for tax purposes. The assessed value is not the market value. All properties are reassessed every four years.
All properties in the RM are assessed by Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency. If you would like more information on your individual property assessment, you can go onto the SAMA website at www.sama.sk.ca and use SAMAView using the alternate number shown on your notice. Should you wish to discuss your properties valuation, please contact SAMA directly and they will review your property profile with you. The phone number for the SAMA office is 306-924-8080.
Property owners may appeal their assessment if they believe an error has been made in the valuation or classification of the property. Appeals are made to the RM of Pense’s Board of Revision, Western Municipal Consulting Ltd. Call the office or refer to SAMA's guide on the appeal process. The fees are $100 for residential or agricultural, and $250 for commercial appeals.
Anyone who has land assessed within the RM will get a notice in the mail prior to taxes being levied during a year of revaluation, or in a year where changes were made to the property.
