💰 How Your Tax Dollar Is Used

For residential and commercial properties, your tax dollar is split between two components:

  • Municipal Taxes: Set by the RM of The Gap Council
  • Education Property Taxes: Set by the Province of Saskatchewan

Municipal mill rates and base taxes may vary from year to year. Please refer to your tax notice for current rates.

🗓️ Payment Deadlines & Discounts

To receive a discount on the municipal portion of your taxes, payment must be submitted before December 31.
Accepted payment methods include:

  • Cheque
  • Online banking (please allow up to 10 business days)

💳 Payment Processing & Discount Eligibility

Please note that payments are not considered received until the funds have been deposited into the RM’s bank account.

If you are mailing a cheque, be sure to allow sufficient time for it to arrive at the municipal office and be processed before month-end.

Payments received after the cutoff will not qualify for the current month’s discount.

We recommend submitting your payment early to ensure eligibility. If you have questions about payment methods or timing, please contact the municipal office

Note: Education property taxes are not eligible for discounts.

🔄 Revaluation Cycle

SAMA conducts province-wide property revaluations every four years, based on a new base year.

  • The most recent revaluation was completed in 2025, using the 2023 base year.
  • The 2025 revaluation will apply these values through 2028, providing stable and consistent assessment for property owners.
  • Municipalities are required by legislation to use these updated values when calculating property taxes.
  • The next revaluation is scheduled for 2029, using a 2027 base date.
