Each property tax notice shows a pie chart that indicates how the taxes for that property are distributed. Phone numbers for the School Boards and Library Board are printed on the back of the notice if you want additional information from them. Homes may have different assessments based on these guidelines. The prosperity and general well-being of society, or the community at large, is directly related to the education of its people. For that reason, the costs of education are deemed to be the responsibility of everyone.
Provincial legislation specifies that the funds for schools are to be collected by municipalities.
While the City of Regina bills and collects school taxes, the municipality has no jurisdiction or control over school board budgets or operations. Each school board has the authority to set it's mill rate independently from the other. For the past several years both Boards have set the same mill rate resulting in the same tax dollars regardless of which school system was supported. Your taxes must be paid in full by June 30. If after your appeal, the Board of Revision decides to lower your assessment, an adjustment will be made to your tax account and you will receive an amended tax notice stating the new tax amount.
