In Quebec, property tax is set at one municipal level: each municipality adopts its own budget and tax rates, and there is no upper-tier regional portion on the municipal bill. The school tax (taxe scolaire) is a separate province-wide system set by the Government of Quebec and is never part of a municipal figure. Quebec reassesses property on three-year rolls (rôles triennaux): when a new roll lifts assessed values, councils typically lower the tax rate, so a rate change is not a bill change — the two are kept separate throughout this guide.
This page compares the verified 2026 figures for the 12 Quebec municipalities in this guide, grouped by metro region. Each figure is the municipal figure in the calibre the municipality itself publishes — an average-bill increase, a published charge increase, a budget indexation, or, where a municipality publishes no percentage at all, its rates or amounts, stated as such. Each municipality's own page shows its verified history from 2015, the exact calibre of its figures and its sources.

One municipal level
A Quebec municipality's figure is the whole municipal figure: there is no regional layer to add or strip out. What differs between cities is the measure each one publishes — an average bill, its charges, or an indexation.
How to read a figure
The “What it measures” column states each figure's scope in short form. A tax rate is never converted into a bill increase on this page: on a three-year assessment roll, rates and bills routinely move in opposite directions.

No data — not zero
A municipality with no verified figure is shown as No data, never as 0%. An adopted 0% increase (a published freeze, gel) is a real figure and is shown as 0%.
Gaps, recorded openly
Lévis has no page yet: no official 2026 figure could be verified on the City of Lévis website — the figures that circulate for it are third-party or proposal-stage, and this guide publishes neither. Boucherville publishes tax rates only, and Saint-Basile-le-Grand publishes amounts only; both have pages that record exactly what the city publishes and state openly that no percentage exists. Montréal's published charges include agglomeration-wide services for the island of Montréal.
Sources
Every figure comes from an official municipal source (adopted budgets, budget books, tax documents and council adoption releases, most of them in French), listed on each municipality page with the original French titles kept. Proposed and draft figures are never used. Ptax.ca is an independent guide; it is not affiliated with the Government of Quebec or any municipality. Check the municipality for the latest official information before relying on a figure.
