For regular appeals, any written material and photographs you provide in support of your appeal must be submitted to BOTH the secretary of the board of revision and the municipality’s assessor at least 20 days before the date of your hearing. The appeal will be heard by an panel comprising three members of the board. Section 244 of The Northern Municipalities Act provides for a simplified appeal process to be used at the option of the appellant. You may choose the simplified appeal process if your appeal is for: • a single family residential property or residential condominium; or • any property that has an assessed value of $750,000 or less. In the simplified process, the chairperson may appoint only one member of the board to hear the appeal. If you qualify for a simplified appeal process and request it on the Notice of Appeal, you may provide any written material and photographs in support of your appeal to the board of revision and the municipality’s assessor at your hearing. However, to avoid delays at your hearing, you are encouraged to provide your material to BOTH the secretary of the board of revision and the municipality’s assessor at least 20 days before the date of your hearing. The written material you provide for either process should identify why you feel there is an error in your assessment. 2 Subsection 246(7) of The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010 provides that regardless of whether or not an appellant has named an agent in the notice of appeal, the appellant retains the right to name an agent, change an agent or use additional agents at any time during the appeal process. 3 The appellant must file this Notice of Appeal with the secretary of the board of revision, together with any fee set by council, within the period set out in section 247 of The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010.

On receipt of this notice, the secretary of the board of revision must determine whether the notice complies with the requirements set out in section 246 of The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010. If the notice does not comply, the secretary must notify the appellant of the deficiencies in the notice and grant the appellant one 14-day extension to perfect it. 20 Sep 2013 SR 78/2013 s2; 19 Jly 2024 SR 58/2024 s16. 68 N-5.2 REG 1 NORTHERN MUNICIPALITIES FORM J [Section 80] Notice of Appeal to the Saskatchewan Municipal Board To the secretary of the Saskatchewan Municipal Board: I appeal the decision (or failure to render a decision) of the board of revision appeal no. __________ for the municipality of __________________________________________ (check beside those that apply) to the Saskatchewan Municipal Board respecting the: Property valuation (land valuation or improvement valuation or both) Property classification (land classification or improvement classification or both) Exemption Preparation or content of the assessment roll Preparation or content of the notice of assessment of __________________________________ ________________________________________ (legal land description) (assessment or alternate number) _______________________________________________________________________________ (street address, if applicable) Assessment value under appeal: $ ________________ Assessment year: ______________ My grounds for appeal are as follows: _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ (Attach additional sheets if necessary) Appellant’s Name: Agent’s Name (if named/known2): Mailing Address: Mailing Address: City/Town: City/Town: Province: Postal Code: Province: Postal Code: Home Phone #: Business Phone #: Home Phone #: Business Phone #: Fax #: Cell #: Fax #: Cell #: E-mail address: E-mail address: 69 NORTHERN MUNICIPALITIES N-5.2 REG 1 Contact information for this appeal: The appellant’s interest in the property is: _______________________________________________________________________________ (e.g. owner, tenant, property manager, assessor) Dated this ______ day of ________________________, 20 ______.

Fulfilling our obligations and discharging our duties responsibly requires a commitment to the highest ethical standards. The quality of the public administration and governance of the municipality of _____________________________________, as well as its reputation and integrity, depends on our conduct as elected officials. Purpose and Interpretation The purpose of this code is to outline basic ethical standards and values for members of council. It is to be used to guide members of council respecting what their obligations are when fulfilling their duties and responsibilities as elected officials. This code is to be interpreted in accordance with the legislation applicable to the municipality, the common law and the policies and bylaws of the municipality. Neither the law nor this code is to be interpreted as exhaustive, and there will be occasions on which a council will find it necessary to adopt additional rules of conduct in order to protect the public interest and to enhance the public confidence and trust in local government. It is the responsibility of each member of council to uphold the standards and values set out in this code. Standards and Values a. Honesty Members of council shall be truthful and open in their roles as council members and as members of the communities they serve. b. Objectivity Members of council shall make decisions carefully, fairly and impartially. c. Respect Members of council shall treat every person, including other members of council, municipal employees and the public, with dignity, understanding and respect. Members of council shall not engage in discrimination, bullying or harassment in their roles as members of council. They shall not use derogatory language towards others, shall respect the rights of other people and groups, shall treat people with courtesy and shall recognize the importance of the different roles others play in local government decision making. 88 N-5.2 REG 1 NORTHERN MUNICIPALITIES d. Transparency and Accountability Members of council shall endeavour to conduct and convey council business and all their duties in an open and transparent manner, other than those discussions that are authorized to be dealt with in a confidential manner in closed session, so that stakeholders can view the process and rationale used to reach decisions and the reasons for taking certain actions. Members of council are responsible for the decisions that they make. This responsibility includes acts of commission and acts of omission. e. Confidentiality Members of council shall refrain from disclosing or releasing any confidential information acquired by virtue of their office except when required by law or authorized by council to do so. Members shall not take advantage of or obtain private benefit from information that is obtained in the course of or as a result of their official duties or position and that is not in the public domain. This includes complying with The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act in their capacity as members of council of a local authority. f. Leadership and the Public Interest Members of council shall serve their constituents in a conscientious and diligent manner and act in the best interests of the municipality. A member shall strive, by focussing on issues important to the community and demonstrating leadership, to build and inspire the public’s trust and confidence in local government. Members of council are expected to perform their duties in a manner that will bear close public scrutiny and shall not provide the potential or opportunity for personal benefit, wrongdoing or unethical conduct. g. Responsibility Members of council shall act responsibly and in accordance with the Acts of the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of Saskatchewan, including The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010. This duty includes disclosing actual or potential conflicts of interest, either financial or otherwise relating to their responsibilities as members of council, following policies and procedures of the municipality, and exercising all conferred powers strictly for the purpose for which the powers have been conferred. Every member of council is individually responsible for preventing potential and actual conflicts of interest. 28 Oct 2016 SR 81/2016 s5.
