2022 Ag. Land Reinspection by SAMA

The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) continues to work hard to help local governments maintain a stabilized assessment base.

The Council of the R.M. of Lomond No. 37 and SAMA have agreed to a reinspection program to be carried out in the R.M. of Lomond #37 this year.  Reinspection is an ongoing program by SAMA to ensure information about the physical characteristics of all properties are up to date.  To ensure that your property is assessed correctly we encourage you to provide SAMA with the information needed to complete an accurate assessment. 

As the landowner, you are the expert when it comes to the productivity of your land. We have enclosed a Farmland Information Sheet with this letter so you can assist SAMA appraisers by identifying your cultivated acreages and areas on your individual quarters that are less or non-productive due to salinity or flooding.  If you have no issues, please fill in your name and check the box at the top of the form.

Review of properties in your municipality should begin 2 weeks after receipt of this letter and completed somewhere between May and September.

The form(s) can be returned to the RM office or SAMA office located at 100B 18th Street, Weyburn, SK S4H 2W4.  If you prefer to scan and email to Christine Peters, please email weyburn.region@sama.sk.ca or fax to 306-848-2399.

We value your input and would appreciate a response as soon as possible.  Please know SAMA may call you at the number you provide on the enclosed information sheet with any additional questions.  We encourage you to inspect your current property’s assessment information by using the Agency’s SAMAView service.  To Access SAMAView, please visit https://mysama.ca/account/public-login to sign in. 

Should you have questions about your assessment, please contact the SAMA Office at 306-848-2580 or the toll-free number during business hours at 1-800-498-0575.  General concerns unrelated to your property assessment, can be directed to Aleshia Underwood at the RM Office at 306-456-2566.

Fire Ban Update

May 11th, 2021


The R.M. of Souris Valley No. 7 and the R.M. of Lomond No. 37 have been in the HIGH fire risk from the Saskatchewan Spatial Fire Management System for the past several weeks. In addition, the RM of Souris Valley No. 7 and the RM of Lomond No. 37 have issued a Fire Ban for both RM’s. This has made it difficult for farmers to burn off fields prior to seeding.


The R.M. of Souris Valley No. 7, the R.M. of Lomond No. 37 and the 737 Volunteer Fire Department support an agriculture exception to the current burn ban. The exception would only be for a controlled burn of crop residue to plant the 2021 crop. No other burning, such as brush piles, old buildings, sloughs, or non-crop related fires shall be exempted, any person who violates this exemption, and a firefighting response is required, the fire-fighting fees will be doubled.


The exception would be at the discretion of the 737 Fire Chief, as well as the 2 Deputy Fire Chiefs, who must notify the RM offices and the Fire Department that they have approved a controlled burn. Prior to approving the burn, the individual will need to ensure that they have an adequate firebreak around the burn site. The individual planning to burn must also have either a tractor with tillage implement, or a vehicle with a water tank and pump capable of extinguishing any fire that starts outside the fire break as well as the necessary manpower.


Fire Chief – Glenn Walkeden 306-861-7782
