The Saskatchewan Assessment Appraisers' Association (SAAA) is the organization of trained professional that are qualified to apply expertise in the mass valuation of property for ad valorem purposes in Saskatchewan.  The SAAA was established as a self-governing regulated profession under The Assessment Appraisers Act in November 2002.  Saskatchewan assessors and assessment appraisers have a proud history that began almost 70 years ago with a view to improve standards, develop better techniques and disseminate useful information to its members.

The SAAA certifies individuals and licenses members to undertake valuations according to The Assessment Management Agency Act.  The SAAA is mandated to establish appropriate educational, experience and ethical requirements of assessment professionals, and to govern the activities of these members in the public interest.  Our organization is actively involved on advisory committees established to ensure fair and equitable assessments and inform the public. 

The SAAA is an affiliate member of the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) and is a founding member of the Interprovincial Professional Property Assessors of Canada (IPPAC).
