Mass Appraisal The process of preparing assessments for a group of properties as of the base date using standard appraisal methods, employing common data and allowing for statistical testing. Median Adjusted Sales Amount The mid-range value of sales for a specified property type (i.e. residential) in a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood). Median Assessment The mid-range value of a specified property type (i.e., residential) in a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood) in the year specified. Median Lot Size The mid-range value of the size of a lot for a specified property type (i.e., residential) in a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood). Median Total Living Area The mid-range size of the total living area of a residential property in a specified property type in a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood). Median Year Built The mid-range age for a specified property type in a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood). Mill Class See Property Class Mill Class Percent The portion of the property that is assessed for a given mill (property) class. Mill Rate The tax per dollar of assessed value of property. The rate is expressed in "mills", where one mill is one-tenth of a cent ($0.001). Mill rates are set by each taxing authority to raise the revenue required by their budget. Mill Rate Factors A factor applied in tax calculations in order to redistribute the amount of total taxes paid by property classes and subclasses according to the tax policies approved by City Council. A mill rate factor does not increase or decrease the total amount of taxes collected annually, but can change the amount of tax collected from each property class or subclass. Minimum Tax A minimum amount of tax, established at the discretion of City Council, with respect to any land and improvement. Under a minimum tax system, the municipal property tax calculation is: (Taxable Assessment X Municipal Mill Rate X Mill Rate Factor)÷1000 = Municipal Taxes The result of this calculation is compared with the established minimum tax. If the calculation is lower than the minimum tax, the minimum tax amount is applied to the property. If the calculation is higher than the minimum tax, the calculated amount is applied to the property. Minimum tax can only be applied to municipal taxes (not to school or library portions). Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) MRA is a statistical technique that analyses market (independent) variables, such as lot size, building size, building quality and location, and then predicts the value of a single (dependent) variable, that being sale price (market value). MRA is commonly used in the Sale Comparison Approach to Value. N Number of Parking Stalls The number of parking stalls in Parkade property type. Number of Properties The number of tax accounts found within a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood) that were analysed. Number of Sales The number of sold properties found within a specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood) that are used in analysis. OOpen Space A property characteristic that can influence value as identified by analysis. A property must be backing or flanking onto an open space for this characteristic to potentially influence value. Used in the Sales Comparison Approach.Open Veranda An open extension attached along the exterior of a building or structure. Other Types The percentage of properties in the specified area (city-wide, market area or valuation neighbourhood) that are not in the other groups displayed. This includes 3- or 4- level split properties. Found on the Assessment and Sales Statistics page. Other Charges Under The Cities Act, 2003 and other legislation, the City can add charges to your tax account, such as: Laneway Maintenance: Gravel and paved alleys in Regina are maintained through a special tax charged to owners of properties that use them. Each year, the City does maintenance work on a priority basis by assessing the condition of all alleys. Local Improvements: These include replacement of the City's infrastructure, such as watermains, sidewalks and curbs. Miscellaneous: Overdue water and sewer balances can be transferred to your tax account. As well, if the City must do work on your property due to bylaw violations (i.e. untidy/unsightly land, noxious weeds, junked vehicles or fire damage) the cost for this work can be added to your tax account. P Parking Spaces Indicates the number of parking spaces related to a property. Pending Transactions Upcoming transactions that will impact the value of the assessment and/or property tax amount. Phase-In Adjustment A tax tool available to City Council, to manage tax changes (increases and decreases) because of revaluation. Pool Type Identifies the type of pool on a property. Porch A roofed structure attached to the exterior of a building or structure. Primary Building The predominant structure on a property. Typically it is the largest structure. Property Characteristics Property features that influence a property's assessment. Using Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA), the City's Property Assessment Services Branch identifies a number or property features, including but not limited to: Property Class Property classes established by the Province for use by municipalities to apply tax policy decisions (mill rate factors, minimum tax, base tax and tax phase-in). Current property classes include: residential, multi-unit residential, commercial and industrial, seasonal residential, elevators, non-arable (range land), other agricultural and railway rights of way and pipeline. Property Type Represents the present use of the property. Provincial Percentage A percentage established by the Province for each property class (see Property Class.) The assessment calculated following the Saskatchewan Assessment Manual is adjusted by this provincial percentage to arrive at the taxable assessment used to calculate your taxes: Residential - 80% Multi-unit Residential - 80% Commercial and Industrial - 85% Seasonal Residential - 80% Elevators - 85% Non-arable (Range) Land - 45% Other Agricultural - 55% Railway Rights of Way and Pipeline - 85% Resource - 85% Provincial Education Property Tax The Province and the Regina Separate School Board set tax policy for education property tax, including the setting of Province-wide mill rates to calculate the education tax for all properties. For further information on the education tax changes and education mill rates please contact the Province of Saskatchewan. Q R Revaluation A revaluation is a periodic review of the value of all property in a municipality. In Saskatchewan, this is legislated to occur every four years and serves to update property values to a more current valuation base date. For the 2025 revaluation, the legislated valuation base date is January 1, 2023. S Sales Comparison Approach to Value The Sales Comparison Approach is an approach for estimating market value-based assessments by comparing to the sale prices of similar properties that have sold recently. Sale Date The month and year in which a property sold. School Support Each Individual must declare a single faith, whether they are a member of the religious faith that established the Separate School Division as per The Education Act, or they are not a member. Based on the legislation, this declaration is used to determine what school board (Public or Separate) their education property taxes will be paid to and is applied to all properties for which they are the assessed person. If no declaration is made for an individual, a 100% Public School Support is applied, by default, as per The Cities Act. Organizations may also declare their School Support, but they are able to split their support. If an organization is undeclared, the calculated average School Support of all declared assessed persons is applied to any properties they own. Currently, this is 72% Public School Support and 28% Separate School Support. When an Individual or Organization declares their faith, this declaration will stay with them until the City receives a written change. If they sell their current property and purchase another, their school support will remain the same as the old property. Subsection 53(2) of The Education Act, 1995 provides as follows: "Where, the minority religious faith, whether Protestant or Roman Catholic, has established a separate school division, a property owner is to be assessed with respect to his or her property: (a) in the case of a member of the minority religious faith, as a taxpayer of the separate school division; (b) in any other case, as a taxpayer of the public school division." Subsection 297(1) of The Education Act, 1995 provides that where a property is "held by two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, each holder is to be assessed in proportion to his or her interest in the property in the separate or public school division of which he or she is a taxpayer for school purposes". All declarations are taken as continuing and in force to be acted or until withdrawn, varied or cancelled by subsequent notices. Status Page Provides an overview of the property account tax and penalties balance. Study Area A group of properties with similar attributes and location but not geographically bound. Street Adjustment A property characteristic that can influence value as identified by analysis, such as being located on an arterial or collector street. Used in the Sales Comparison Approach to Value. Style The style of construction of a building, such as 1-storey, 2-storey, bi-level, etc. Subclass (also known as Property Subclasses) A sub-classification of property established, at the discretion of City Council, in addition to the property classes established by the Province (see Property Class and Provincial Percentage) for the purpose of managing tax incidence resulting from a revaluation. Municipalities are authorized under The Cities Act to establish property subclasses within the provincial property classes. The subclass for condominiums was created under the provincial class for residential properties. Supplementary Assessment A change in assessment due to an amendment to the characteristics used to determine a property's assessment, where the amendments occurred for a portion of the year (e.g. new addition, demolition, change in tax status, etc.). A supplementary assessment notice is mailed with a supplementary taxation notice representing the taxes due for the portion of the year in which changes were made. Supplemental Levy A change in levy for a portion of the year due to changes in the assessment value of the property. Supplemental Number of Months The portion of a year for which a Supplemental Assessment is valid (i.e. August to December). Supplementary Revised Assessment A corrected assessment amount indicating what the assessment should have been during the months a Supplemental assessment was effective for. These are usually a result of a change to the property on the assessment roll. T Tax Policy A policy direction adopted by City Council to manage and apply taxes to the various properties within its jurisdiction. Tax policies can impact the amount of taxes a property owner pays. During a revaluation, City Council reviews its current tax policies and any other tax policy options available. Council then decides which tax policies to adopt. Taxable Assessment (or Taxable Assessed Value) A value to which a mill rate and mill rate factor are applied to arrive at a property's taxes. This value is arrived at by multiplying the assessed value by the provincial percentage. Assessed value X Provincial percentage = Taxable Assessment Taxable Assessment X Mill Rate X Mill Rate Factor ÷ 1000 = Property Taxes TIPPS The Tax Installment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS) allows you to pay your property taxes monthly. Tax Notice Statement identifying how much your property tax is for the current tax year, including details of the taxing authorities that receive a portion of your tax dollars. Tax Phase-In The process to phase in tax changes resulting from revaluation, established at the discretion of City Council. Tax phase-in plans can be up to four years, can be different for each property class or subclass, and can be different for tax increases and decreases. Phase-in cannot be applied to changes in the tax rate resulting from the annual budget or changes to a property's assessment because of new construction, renovations or demolitions. Total Balance The full balance owing on a Tax account. This will include all unpaid levies, Grant-In-Lieu transactions, local improvements, laneways, BID levies, arrears, penalties, and all other tax transactions.

The Branch will complete a subsequent inspection; if at that time it is discovered construction is complete or occupied, the City will issue an additional assessment and tax bill to reflect the value as a completed structure. V Valuation The determination of the value of property for assessment purposes in accordance with a municipal Act, as of a base date established by the agency in accordance with this Act and its regulations, by methods that may include the inspection or re-inspection of property to determine physical characteristics and condition. Valuation Date The Valuation Date (sometimes referred to as a base date) is set by legislation and it is the date on which a property’s assessed value is determined through evaluation of market conditions at that time. Since a property’s assessed value is based on historic market conditions, it may not be reflective of current market values. The current Valuation Date is January 1, 2023. Valuation Neighbourhood A definable geographical area that contains properties with similar influences on value. The Assessment Branch identifies valuation neighbourhoods by number. In some cases, a valuation neighbourhood may have the same boundaries as a community neighbourhood. In other cases, a valuation neighbourhood may encompass several community neighbourhoods or include only part a community. Please view the valuation neighbourhood maps.
