Municipal Taxes

Council adopted the 2011 budget and set the mill rate of 11.8437 mills, which represents a 2.0 mill increase from last year. Below a table shows the municipal tax levy for the Town of Lumsden

School Taxes
As a result of changes to the provincial budget, Saskatchewan property owners will pay significantly less education property tax. The provincial government will set province wide tax rates for each of the three major property classes (residential, commercial and agricultural). Click here to see examples of Education Property Tax Savings.

Should you wish additional information regarding the school taxes, please contact either a member of the Board of Education or a Local Trustee.
