Weyburn, Saskatchewan
Weyburn publishes its own roll in its audited statements — $1,078,666,385 of assessment split across eight property classes down to a $450,065 agriculture class and a $1,319,625 'Mall' class taxed at five and a half times the base factor — and in 2024 it issued a single institutional building permit worth $81,192,619, the new provincial hospital, which is more than nine times everything else the city permitted that year.

Can you find out who owns it?
Saskatchewan's Land Registry, operated by ISC as Saskatchewan Registry Services, indexes land by who owns it: Quick Search accepts an Owner Name — 'the surname of the individual(s) who you think is the current land owner or the name of the corporation that owns the land' — as well as a parcel number, title number or land description. A free ISC account gets you a Standard Result List, Parcel Detail, Interest Register Detail and Title History Detail at no charge; a Title Detail is $15.00 on the fee table effective 15 April 2026. Values come from SAMA rather than the city: SAMAView is free for personal and non-commercial users with 25 report credits per revaluation cycle, and commercial subscriptions run $285.00 or $790.00 a year. Unlike Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Prince Albert, Weyburn is a SAMA client jurisdiction, so SAMA will sell you its Property Transfer records for $7.00 per transfer plus GST — selected by municipal unit with a date or price range, and with no buyer or seller information in them.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Weyburn General Hospital 275 5th Avenue North |
Institutional | Crown in Right of Saskatchewan The Province's release of 29 April 2026 announces that construction is complete and that 'the Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $134 million' in the 35-bed facility — 25 acute care beds, 10 inpatient mental health beds, EMS ambulance, ambulatory care, a heliport and office space for the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation — delivered through SaskBuilds and Procurement, built by Wright Construction Western Inc., with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to operate it. The City's own records corroborate the scale: development permit DP2024.005 'New Building - Hospital' at 275 5th Avenue N, and a single institutional building permit in April 2024 valued at $81,192,619. |

| Credit Union Spark Centre Jubilee Park, Weyburn |
Civic | City of Weyburn The City describes it on its own site under the heading 'OUR FACILITY' as 'a multi-purpose sports, culture and recreation facility' and 'a progressive step forward for the City of Weyburn', completely accessible, with an art gallery, pottery studio, multi-purpose rooms, indoor track, simulator room, mini gym, multi-use synthetic field, children's play space and outdoor ice surface, located in Jubilee Park alongside the Weyburn Leisure Centre. The credit union holds the naming rights. The City also held its 2024 municipal budget open house in the building. No civic number is published on the page. |

| Weyburn RCMP detachment (new) 2060 Millar Road 970 m² |
Institutional | Royal Canadian Mounted Police Crown Owned, 0.7100 hectares, 970 sq m, construction year 2026 — the newest federally owned building in any of the five cities in this batch. The register still also carries the old Weyburn Detachment Site at 540 11th Street NE, Crown Owned, 0.1742 hectares, 428 sq m over two buildings, built 1963. Together they are the only ground the Government of Canada owns in Weyburn: 0.8842 hectares. Everything else Canada occupies here it rents. |

| Weyburn Postal Station 101 Souris Avenue 703 m² |
Retail | Not established a paid title search would answer it Canada Post's 703 sq m Weyburn footprint is recorded in the federal register as 'Lease or Licence', not Crown Owned — the exact opposite of Swift Current, where Canada Post owns a 3,138 sq m building on 0.214 hectares outright. It is the largest leased federal footprint in Weyburn, and the register names the tenant and not the landlord. A $15 ISC Title Detail on 101 Souris Avenue would finish the row. |

| Weyburn Service Canada Centre 84 Grace Street; Surface Parcel #150217253, Block E, Plan 101421807 273 m² |
Office | Not established a paid title search would answer it The federal register prints the surface parcel number — #150217253, Block E, Plan 101421807 — which is exactly the input Saskatchewan's Quick Search takes, and Parcel Detail is free. This is the cleanest demonstration in the batch of how close a reader is to an answer in this province: one open federal file supplies the parcel number, one free provincial search supplies the parcel, and $15 supplies the owner's name. We did not buy it, so the row stays blank. |

Office | Not established a paid title search would answer it Public Services and Procurement Canada leases 130 sq m in a downtown office building the register identifies by two full legal descriptions and no owner. Farm Credit Canada likewise leases 245 sq m at 609 Railway Avenue.

Institutional | Not established a paid title search would answer it The City's 2024 Planning and Development annual report records development permit DP2024.001, 'Senior Care Home Addition', at 1135 Park Avenue, approved, and an institutional building permit in January 2024 valued at $2,230,000. Weyburn's assessment roll carries a separate 'Personal Care Homes' property class worth $6,890,080 in 2025 at a mill rate factor of 0.8434. Neither the permit report nor the assessment schedule names an owner: unlike Regina, Weyburn's permit reports carry only permit number, address, type of use, project description and value. |

| The Weyburn mall Weyburn |
Retail | Not established a paid title search would answer it Weyburn is one of the few Canadian cities whose own financial statements give a shopping mall its own property class and its own tax treatment. Schedule 9 of the 2025 audited statements records a 'Mall' assessment of $1,319,625 inside the commercial class at a mill rate factor of 5.7605 — the same punitive factor applied to railway and pipeline property, and more than four times the 1.3770 applied to ordinary commercial. A separate 'Accommodations' class carries $22,066,850 at a factor of 1.2943. The statements give the class, the value and the rate, and no address and no owner. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Weyburn is the one city in this batch that publishes its own roll. Schedule 9 of the City's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, 'Schedule of Mill Rates and Assessments', sets out taxable assessment, total assessment, mill rate factors and tax levy for every property class. Figures below are read from that schedule and from the City's 2024 Planning and Development Department annual report.
Total assessment, 2025$1,078,666,385 ($1,074,014,420 taxable)
Schedule 9, City of Weyburn audited financial statements, 31 December 2025. The gap between the two figures is the separately rated sub-classes: elevators $919,785, railway and pipeline $2,412,555 and mall $1,319,625.
Assessment by property class, 2025Residential $707,100,880 of $1.07 billion
Residential $707,100,880 (65.8%); Commercial (C&I, E, R, P) $210,140,145; Multi Unit Residential $87,055,520; Residential Condominium $39,726,240; Accommodations $22,066,850; Personal Care Homes $6,890,080; Trailer Court $584,640; Agriculture $450,065. Mill rate factors run from 0.4271 on residential to 2.4404 on trailer courts and 5.7605 on railway, pipeline and mall property.
Municipal tax levy and mill rate, 2025$11,274,598; average municipal mill rate 10.4523
Including base and minimum taxes of $3,559,985, of which $2,932,150 falls on residential and $627,835 on multi-unit residential. Average school mill rate 4.7568; uniform municipal mill rate 10.4570. Schedule 9.
Building permits, 2024$97,515,346 on 62 permits, creating 6 dwellings
Of which $84,070,619 was institutional on three permits — one new-building permit of $81,192,619 in April 2024, the hospital. Residential permits were $3,900,827 on 50 permits and commercial $9,543,900 on nine, all of them additions or alterations: the City issued no new commercial and no industrial permit at all in 2024. For comparison the whole of 2023 was $10,870,740 and 2022 $6,230,000. Over eleven years of the City's own table the only comparable year is 2019 at $51,040,212.
Dwellings created per year6 in 2024, 4 in 2023, 4 in 2022, 3 in 2021
From the City's own 'Grand Totals' table, which runs back to 2015. The highest year in the series is 2016 at 25 dwellings. Year to date in June 2026 the city had issued 28 building permits and two demolition permits worth $2,923,352 in total.
City-owned tangible capital assets$205,700,401 at cost; land $1,930,087
Schedule 6, 31 December 2025: land $1,930,087, land improvements $6,505,120, buildings $96,553,741, machinery and equipment $17,043,620, linear assets $80,806,070 and $2,861,763 under construction. Net book value $119,438,184. The City's land is carried at historic cost, so the figure is a floor, not a valuation.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Weyburn is an oil and grain town inside the strictest farmland ownership regime in Canada — and the regime barely touches the city itself, where the agriculture property class is worth $450,065 out of a $1.07 billion roll. The city is nonetheless a farmer in its own right: its audited statements disclose a grain inventory 'comprised of the City's crop share on leased farmland', recorded at net realizable value at year end, which means the municipality leases out land and takes its rent in crop.
| Name | Type | Stated holding |
|---|---|---|
| City of Weyburn The City's 2025 statements disclose both a land inventory 'comprised of land held for future development and resale' valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and a grain inventory from 'the City's crop share on leased farmland'. Its published for-sale list as at 7 July 2026 offers ten residential lots on Veterans Road and four on McTaggart Drive, and commercial and industrial property at 75 Allen Street, 12, 32, 86 and 116 10th Avenue South, 1845 East Avenue and 1225 Pittman Road, sold first come, first served and 'subject to sale any time a reasonable offer is received'. |
Government | $1,930,087 of land at cost, plus leased farmland and a published for-sale inventoryA |
| Royal Canadian Mounted Police 2060 Millar Road (0.7100 ha, 970 sq m, built 2026) and 540 11th Street NE (0.1742 ha, 428 sq m over two buildings, built 1963). The only federally owned land in Weyburn; Canada Post, Farm Credit Canada and Public Services and Procurement Canada all rent here. |
Government | 0.8842 ha over two sitesA |
| Non-resident persons and non-Canadian-owned entities (statutory limit) The Provincial Auditor's 2024 chapter on the Farm Land Security Board records the legislated limit as a combined holding of 10 acres of farmland, that about 40,000 farmland transactions occur in Saskatchewan each year and that the Board reviews them after title has changed, and that section 6 of the regulations makes named exceptions — the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, permitted land holdings up to 104,000 acres, and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. In 2021 Saskatchewan had approximately 60 million acres of farmland and over 34,000 farms; the 2023 average value of an acre of cultivated land was $3,443. |
Institution | 10 acresA |
| Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Saskatchewan barred pension plans from owning farm land in 2015 but let CPPIB keep what it then held, 'approximately 167,000 acres'. The province's release of 14 October 2025 states that CPPIB 'has divested itself of these holdings and now owns no farm land in the province', and that the amendment removes the exemption so it cannot acquire any in future. The same amendments clarify the Board's power to levy monetary administrative penalties. |
Pension fund | approximately 167,000 acres, now nilA |
| Farm Land Security Board (the published record) Every farm-ownership exemption the Board grants or refuses is published as a signed order, which makes Saskatchewan the only jurisdiction in this batch where farmland owners are named in public by a register rather than by a filing. The Board sits at Room 202, 3085 Albert Street, Regina. |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Weyburn builds a handful of houses a year and publishes the permits for all of them — and this is the sharp contrast with Regina, 115 kilometres up the highway. Regina's open permit file names the property owner and the contractor on every permit under an open licence, which is how that city's record establishes who owns its downtown towers for free. Weyburn's monthly and annual building permit reports are published promptly as PDFs and carry permit number, project address, type of use, project description and project value — and no owner and no contractor. Saskatoon publishes neither either. So Weyburn's housing can be measured and not attributed: 50 residential permits worth $3,900,827 in 2024, of which six were new dwellings worth $2,997,000, 28 additions and alterations worth $909,327 and 14 garages worth $434,300.
| Name | Type | Dwellings created |
|---|---|---|
| Builders of Weyburn's six 2024 dwellings (not established) Six new residential permits in 2024: one in April at $297,000, one in September at $550,000, three in November totalling $1,750,000 and one in December at $400,000. The City's permit reports name no builder, applicant or contractor, so not one of the six can be attributed. Saskatchewan has no provincial builder register of the kind Ontario's Home Construction Regulatory Authority provides. |
Private company | 6 dwellings, $2,997,000A |
| Wright Construction Western Inc. Not a homebuilder, but the largest builder to work in Weyburn in the period covered here. The Province's completion release of 29 April 2026 quotes the firm directly on 'the successful completion of the new Weyburn General Hospital' as a result of collaboration between Design & Construction, SaskBuilds and Procurement and the City of Weyburn. Its single permit is worth more than every other permit the City issued in 2024 combined, several times over. |
Private company | $134 million hospitalA |
| Seniors and personal care housing (owners not established) Weyburn's roll gives 'Personal Care Homes' their own property class at $6,890,080 and a mill rate factor of 0.8434, and the 2024 permit record shows a $2,230,000 senior care home addition at 1135 Park Avenue. The class total is published; the operators and owners are not. |
Private company | $6,890,080 assessedA |
| Multi-unit residential (owners not established) Multi Unit Residential $87,055,520 plus Residential Condominium $39,726,240, together 11.8 per cent of Weyburn's taxable assessment — against 15.6 per cent in Riverview, New Brunswick, where the provincial roll at least names each building and its unit count. Weyburn's statements give class totals only. |
Private company | $126,781,760 assessedA |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Weyburn's commercial base is $210,140,145 of assessment, a fifth of the city's roll, with three sub-classes the City singles out for punitive treatment: grain elevators ($919,785), railway and pipeline property ($2,412,555) and the mall ($1,319,625), the last two taxed at a 5.7605 mill rate factor against 1.3770 for ordinary commercial. A separate Accommodations class carries $22,066,850. What the City publishes is the class and the rate; what it does not publish, and what its building permits also do not carry, is a name. The only commercial landlords this record can even identify indirectly are the three private owners who rent space to the Government of Canada.
| Name | Type | Weyburn presence |
|---|---|---|
| Crown in Right of Saskatchewan The Province is by a wide margin the largest builder and owner of new floor space in Weyburn: the 35-bed hospital at 275 5th Avenue North, built through SaskBuilds and Procurement, completed April 2026, to be operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. |
Government | a $134M hospital and $84.07M of 2024 institutional permitsA |
| City of Weyburn Including $96,553,741 of buildings and $1,930,087 of land at historic cost. Named civic holdings include the Credit Union Spark Centre and the Weyburn Leisure Centre in Jubilee Park, and a published inventory of commercial, industrial and residential land for sale. |
Government | $205,700,401 of tangible capital assets at costA |
| Landlord of the Weyburn Postal Station (not established) 101 Souris Avenue. The largest federal lease in the city. Recorded in the Directory of Federal Real Property as 'Lease or Licence'; the register names the tenant only. |
Private company | 703 m² let to Canada PostA |
| Landlord of MNP Place (not established) 117 3 Street, identified in the federal register by two legal descriptions — Lots 1-4 Block 11 Plan AZ2032 and Lots 5-9 Block 11 Plan 31899 — and by no owner. |
Private company | 130 m² let to CanadaA |
| Owner of the Weyburn mall (not established) Singled out in the City's own Schedule 9 as a separately rated class, taxed at the same factor as railway and pipeline property. No address, no owner, and the City's permit reports would not carry one even if the mall had permitted work. |
Private company | $1,319,625 assessed at a 5.7605 factorA |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The owner of the Weyburn Inland Terminal. Parrish & Heimbecker's acquisition of the farmer-owned public company is widely reported, but producer.com and sasktoday.ca both return 403 with an 'Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue' body and pandh.ca does not resolve, so no source for it was opened and no owner or price is claimed. Whether the terminal is inside the City of Weyburn or in the surrounding rural municipality was also not established.
- The owner of any private building in Weyburn. The City's roll is public by class and its building permits are public by address, and neither carries a name — the contrast with Regina, which publishes the property owner and the contractor on every permit under an open licence, is the central fact about this city's record.
- The owners of the three buildings the Government of Canada rents in Weyburn: 101 Souris Avenue (Canada Post, 703 sq m), 117 3 Street (PSPC, 130 sq m) and 609 Railway Avenue (Farm Credit Canada, 245 sq m). All three are answerable for $15 through an ISC Title Detail, and the federal register supplies a surface parcel number for a fourth, 84 Grace Street.
- Which building in Weyburn is the 'Mall' in the City's Schedule 9, and who owns it. The schedule gives $1,319,625 and a 5.7605 mill rate factor and nothing else.
- Who owns the grain elevators assessed at $919,785 in the separately rated elevator sub-class, and the railway and pipeline property assessed at $2,412,555.
- The owner or operator of the senior care home at 1135 Park Avenue, which took a $2,230,000 addition permit in January 2024.
- Weyburn's total population and a city-level housing-starts series. Statistics Canada's CMHC starts cubes carry no Weyburn member, and the City's own reporting counts dwellings created by permit rather than starts.
