WEYBURN – City council approved a mill rate of 10.457 during its regular meeting on May 12, following a property reassessment year that will lead to varying tax impacts across different property classes.
Laura Missal, director of finance, said that 2025 was a revaluation year with the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA), prompting adjustments to the mill rate.
“Typically in a reevaluation year the city of Weyburn strives to have an increase in tax percentage based on the budget and adjusts the mill rates accordingly,” she said. “Some classes will result in a decrease in mill rate while others will have an increase at a higher amount.”
Notable shifts in property assessments include an 18.47 per cent decrease for the Weyburn Mall, while agricultural land assessments surged by 61.47 per cent. Residential properties saw a 6.09 per cent increase, with condominium single-family homes rising by 5.84 per cent and multi-family properties by 6.18 per cent. Commercial properties also experienced increases, with commercial "other" up 6.02 per cent and commercial accommodation up 6.14 per cent.
The adjustments mean some property owners will see higher tax bills, while others may see reductions.
