We encourage you to contact the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA), to discuss your concerns with an appraiser. They will review your detailed property report to ensure the information used to assess your property is correct.
If you choose to appeal your assessment, you can file an appeal. City Council has appointed an independent Board of Revision to hear assessment appeals.

Tips to remember |
|
The grounds for appeal must be specific. Phrases such as “assessment too high” and “assessment too low” are not enough. When you file an appeal, complete the notice and include facts and evidence. The secretary of the board will review your notice of appeal. If it does not meet the requirements, the secretary will provide you up to 14 days to make corrections. Learn more about Assessment Appeals by reading the Assessment Appeals Guide. You cannot appeal your taxes. Tax policy is a decision made by your council. If you have concerns about your taxes, you should call a member of your Council. If you file an appeal, you still have to pay your taxes to avoid penalties. We will adjust your account if your assessment is lowered. |

Withdrawing your appeal |
|
If you would like to withdraw your appeal, contact the City of Yorkton and they will direct you where to send the withdrawal notice. If you withdraw 15 days or more before your scheduled hearing, your fee will be refunded. |
