How Quebec's assessment and property-tax system works, the local tax calendar, and how rates are structured. City-level rates for Quebec are being added to the database.
Quebec municipalities tax a rate per $100 of assessed value rather than a mill rate. Each municipality or MRC prepares a three-year assessment roll, and large cities such as Montreal combine a city-wide rate with borough rates. On MillRate.ca these are shown as mill-equivalents (the rate per $100 times 10) so they line up with other provinces.
We're adding Quebec municipal rates (rates per $100 of assessed value (shown here as mill-equivalents)). In the meantime you can estimate any property with the True Cost Calculator using your municipality's published rate.
Assessment and payment timing follows this general pattern in Quebec.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Late January | Tax bills issued — Montreal and many municipalities mail the annual tax bill in late January, payable in instalments. |
| ~1 month after billing | First instalment due — Bills of $300 or more can usually be split into two instalments without penalty; the first falls due about a month after billing. |
| By April 30 (roll year) | Assessment review request — A request to review a new three-year roll generally must be filed by April 30 of its first year of effect. |
| Every 3 years | New assessment roll — Each municipality files a fresh three-year roll; in some cities the change is phased in one-third per year. |
