Provincial programs
Seniors Education Property Tax Deferral Program
A Saskatchewan Housing Corporation program that gives homeowners aged 65 or older with household income below $70,000 a repayable loan for the education property tax on their principal residence. The loan is secured by a mortgage on title and is paid to the homeowner, who still pays the full tax bill to the municipality.
Municipal programs
Property Tax Deferral Program for Low-Income Senior Citizen HomeownersSaskatoon
Lets eligible homeowners defer payment of all or part of their annual municipal and library taxes, with four options: the full amount, $1200, $600, or only the incremental increase (which freezes municipal and library taxes while the owner remains in the program). The city says a 4% annual interest charge is added to amounts deferred under the first three options, and the program does not apply to education property tax. Deferred tax becomes payable to the city when ownership is transferred, the owner no longer lives in the home, or the property is sold. The city lists age (65+), an owner-occupied principal residence (single-family home, townhouse or apartment condominium) and a household income limit based on Statistics Canada LICO figures (2025 LICO chart used for 2026); a new application is required each year by October 31.
Low-Income Municipal Property Tax Deferral ProgramRegina
Approved low-income households with at least one senior (65+) or person living with a disability can defer $600, $1,200 or the incremental increase in municipal taxes from the prior year, until the property title is sold or transferred, the senior or person with a disability no longer lives in the household, the owner falls behind on tax, utility or other payments owed to the City, or false or misleading information is found. Does not apply to the library or education portions. August 1 is the final application deadline for 2026 deferrals and the first deadline for 2027 deferrals.
