The City of Saskatoon's property tax and Board of Revision process do not apply here. Corman Park sets its own assessment and mill rate, and school busing, road maintenance and water quality are questions a city buyer never has to ask but a rural one should ask before writing an offer.
First-time buyers drawn to Corman Park are usually trading a smaller mortgage payment for acreage upkeep costs that a city condo or infill home does not carry, from septic pumping to snow clearing a longer driveway. A home inspection here often runs $400 to $600 and should specifically cover the well and septic system, not just the house.
