Rebates, credits and programs in Saskatoon
All Saskatchewan programsThese programs are run by the city or the province. Eligibility is decided by the organization that runs each one; follow the links for the official rules.
Property Tax Deferral Program for Low-Income Senior Citizen Homeowners
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. Run by City of Saskatoon.
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.
