Prince Albert property tax

Prince Albert bills: taxable assessment = assessed value x provincial percentage (the City states taxable value is 80% of assessed value for residential). Per the bylaw: (taxable assessment x mill rate x mill rate factor) / 1,000 = levy. The components are the uniform mill rates as published; the residential mill rate factor applies to the City levies (the provincial survey shows it applied to the library and civic facilities levies too), but not to the education (school) mill rate, so a plain sum of the components overstates the residential rate. Flat per-property amounts (base tax, snow management and roadways special taxes) are added on top and are not in the mill rates. 2026 (Bylaw No. 8 of 2026, rates deemed imposed from January 1, 2026): General Municipal Levy 14.226 mills (up from 13.943, a 2.03% increase), Library Levy 0.819 mills, Civic Facilities Levy 0.495 mills; residential mill rate factor 0.832 (condominium 0.762). Minimum tax applied to the general municipal levy: $975 (residential, condominium, agricultural, multi-family); vacant residential land $1,600. Base tax: residential $400; multi-family $149 per apartment. The City says the residential base tax rose $35, the snow management special tax $1 and the roadways special tax $11, and the $35 police special tax was eliminated (net +$12). Residential education mill rate 4.27 (Government of Saskatchewan). 2026 is not a revaluation year.

Rates as published for the residential class. Bills can also include fixed charges, local improvement levies and utility fees that are not based on assessed value.

Prince Albert's total residential rate of 1.9810% is above the 1.6768% average of the 4 Saskatchewan municipalities we cover. A lower rate does not always mean a lower bill: tax = assessed value × rate, so cities with high home values often have lower rates.
