Assessment Appeals

Property Assessment Appeals - 2025 (Closed)

The 2025 property assessment appeal period is now closed.

When open, an assessment appeal must clearly identify the specific error being alleged. A Notice of Appeal is required to include:

the assessment or classification believed to be incorrect;
the specific grounds for the appeal;
and a summary of the facts supporting the appeal.

Only complete appeals are placed before the Board of Revision. Appeals of property taxes cannot be heard—only the assessed value of land and/or improvements may be appealed. A fee per property is required and is refundable if the appeal is successful. If an appeal proceeds, the appellant is notified in writing of the hearing date and location.

If the appellant does not attend the hearing, the Board of Revision will make a decision based on the information available, and the decision cannot be appealed.

Decisions of the Board of Revision may be appealed to the Provincial Assessment Appeals Committee, but only if the appellant attended the hearing. For future assessment cycles or general inquiries, please contact the RM of Wilton office.

Filing a Formal Appeal

To file a formal assessment appeal, complete the appeal form that was included with your Assessment Notice or download the Appeal Form. Include the appropriate filing fee (cash, cheque or credit card) by the deadline noted on your assessment notice. You can call in to the office 306-387-6244 to pay via Credit Card.

Assessment Appeal must be mailed to:

Secretary, Board of Revision

Box 149, Meota, SK S0M 1X0

You must mail or deliver both your Notice of Appeal and appeal fee (outlined below) by the appeal deadline. Your appeal must be received no later than the 'Last Date of Appeal' found on your Notice of Assessment. Failure to submit the required fees and information by the deadline will result in your appeal being dismissed.

What Must be Included with the Notice of Appeal?

When you submit an appeal, you must:

identify the property under appeal (legal land description, civic address, roll number or alternate);
identify whether you wish to use the simplified or regular appeal process;
indicate what you are appealing, i.e., property valuation, property classification, exemption, preparation or content of the Assessment Roll, preparation or content of your Notice of Assessment;
clearly state the specific grounds on which it is alleged that an error exists;
in summary form, list the particular facts supporting each ground of appeal;
if known, set out the change to the assessment roll you are requesting;
indicate whether you have discussed the appeal with the assessor and the outcome of the discussion, including the details of any facts or issues agreed to. If you have not discussed the appeal with an assessor, indicate why no discussion was held;
provide a mailing address and telephone number where you can be reached;
sign and date your appeal;
enclose or call in your appeal fee.

Note: simply stating that the assessment is too high is not sufficient. If you feel that your assessment is too high you must provide evidence to the Board of Revision that your property is assessed incorrectly.

You must enclose a filing fee as follows:

Class or Value	Fee
Residential	$200.00
