Municipal Tax Enforcement
Saskatchewan municipalities are required to levy and collect property taxes each year to finance the programs and services delivered to their residents. Municipalities are also required to collect taxes imposed by other taxing authorities such as education property tax, conservation and development areas or library boards.
Should property taxes be unpaid after December 31 of the year that they were levied, the property taxes are considered arrears. The Tax Enforcement Act and The Tax Enforcement Regulations sets out the authority and requirements that a municipality must follow to enforce the collection of property taxes that become arrears.
