Board of Revision Training
To help ensure proficiency at the first level of property assessment appeals, all Saskatchewan board of revision members and secretaries must complete mandatory training offered by the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS).
The online Board of Revision (BoR) Training Program is designed for current and future board of revision members and secretaries in Saskatchewan. Once activated, participants have 10 weeks to complete the 12 modules and the corresponding quizzes. The online program takes about 20 hours or less to complete. There is an option for people who have relevant experience and training to challenge the exam without taking the entire program.
The benefits of this training include:
- A better understanding of the roles of board members, secretaries and administrative tribunals in general;
- More effective hearings;
- Improved interpretation of legislation;
- Commitment to impartiality; and
- Increased knowledge of proper procedures in making and writing decisions.
Boards must then apply for certification from the Registrar, and only certified boards may hear property assessment appeals. To register for or find more details about the training, visit the JSGS Board of Revision (BoR) Training Program.
Certification
Regulations require all boards of revision to be certified by the Office of the Registrar to hear property assessment appeals. Boards can apply once they meet the eligibility criteria.

Eligibility
The board of revision is responsible for applying for certification, not the municipality.
The council needs to ensure its appointed board of revision is certified by the Registrar before the board begins hearing property assessment appeals for that taxation year.
Boards should apply to the Registrar for certification when all the following conditions are met:
- Every member and secretary of the board of revision has:
- Completed the required training; and
- Taken an Oath of Office.
