Revaluation impacts assessed values of properties and assessed values are used to calculate property taxes. Learn more about revaluation by watching this short video.
Provincial legislation requires that the assessed value of all properties within Saskatchewan be updated every four years. This process is called revaluation. Property values change over time due to changing market conditions so it is important that the data that is available reflects these changes.
2025 was a revaluation year and property assessments were updated to reflect property values as of January 1, 2023.
To update the value of your home, City appraisers reviewed four years of sales transaction information in Prince Albert from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022. Different sources of verification are done to ensure that the data used is most accurate.

What does this mean for my property?
It means that the assessed value of your property might change and since the value of your property is one factor that influences your property tax rates, revaluation may impact property taxes. Some taxes will go up and some will go down depending on how much your property value increased or decreased compared to other properties in the City.
For example, over the last four years your property may have increased in value, but another property in another area of the city may have increased even more. In this case, even though your property is assessed higher than four years ago, it will not necessarily result in a higher tax bill. It all depends on the shifts in the local real-estate market for all properties in Prince Albert.
You can easily compare your assessment to similar properties in your market area or neighbourhood by using the online assessment tool at http://www.citypa.ca/assessment-online.
When will I know how it impacts property taxes?
Property tax rates will only be finalized in April 2025. Watch for your Property Tax Notice in May 2025.
