Tax Rates
Your annual property tax notice will
include municipal taxes, as well as taxes imposed by other taxing
authorities like school divisions or library boards.
After the Province, other taxing
authorities and the Town of Regina Beach determine their annual budgets,
the Town uses the mills rates (also known as tax rates) and
council-approved tax policies to calculate your property tax.

Tax Certificates
If you would like to obtain property tax information for a property,
you may request a tax certificate. A tax certificate will provide you
with the following:
the amount of taxes levied and still owing;
the total amount of arrears;
the amount of any current or proposed local improvements attached to the property;
whether an assessment appeal is outstanding; and
whether there are outstanding amounts that may be added as a result of an order to remedy a condition of the property.
As per Bylaw No. , a tax certificate is $35 per property. Requests for tax certificates must be made in writing, by email or mail,
and clearly identify the requested property by civic address and legal
land location. When sending a tax certificate request by email the
image of the cheque for payment must be attached, an unofficial tax
certificate will then be emailed back to you, the original will follow
by mail once payment has been received.
If you are the property owner and you'd like an update on the balance
of your property tax account, please call the Village Office at
306-729-4385 or if you receive eNotices, you can log into your Customer Portal.
