Riversdale sits west of downtown around 20th Street West, and it has seen the most visible redevelopment of any Saskatoon neighbourhood over the past decade. A renovated infill a block from the restaurants and shops on the strip and an unrenovated character home two streets over can carry very different assessments despite similar lot size.
Saskatchewan taxes residential property on 80 percent of its assessed value, so the number on your notice is not the number your mill rate applies to directly. If you believe the assessment does not reflect your Riversdale property's actual condition or comparable sales, the City of Saskatoon's appeal window leads to the Board of Revision.
An assessment is a mass appraisal snapshot, not a sale price, and it cannot see a renovation that never reached the permit file. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
