Data behind the chart

The data table below carries one row per year, in year order, with the tax increase, the inflation value and the CEER value for that year, or “No data” where a series has no verified figure.

Housing property-tax historical trend

The trend uses one measure only: the increase the City of Laval publishes for the average single-detached home's municipal tax bill. Each row is the figure for that year on that one measure. A year with no verified figure on that measure is shown as No data.

Separate note — tax rates, not the trend

This note is separate from the trend above and is not part of it. Quebec tax rates are set per $100 of assessed value, and a rate can move even when the bill increase is small, because the assessment base changes — Quebec reassesses on three-year rolls, so rates and bills routinely move in opposite directions. Rate figures are therefore not used as the trend, are not mixed into the increase chart, and are never converted into bill increases.

The figures below are Laval's general property tax base rate (taux de base, under the varied-rates regime, régime des taux variés), expressed per $100 of assessment, as published in the City's own rate-evolution table appended to the Budget 2026 book. They are tax rates, not bill increases: the base rate falls across 2023–2026 because assessed values rose under the triennial roll, while average bills still rose in 2024 and 2026. No rate change in this section is converted into a bill change anywhere on this page.

2023 base rate: 0.7046 $ per $100 of assessment

2024 base rate: 0.6580 $ per $100 of assessment

2025 base rate: 0.5562 $ per $100 of assessment

2026 base rate: 0.4973 $ per $100 of assessment

No Laval base rate before 2023 is recorded: the City's rate-evolution table located starts at 2023, and no earlier official rate table was opened and checked, so earlier years are left unverified rather than filled from third-party summaries.

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the increase the City of Laval publishes for the average single-detached home's municipal tax bill.

Where a city publishes an increase as components, the components are recorded in the scope notes; a total is used only where the city itself publishes it.

Canada inflation is Statistics Canada, Table 18-10-0005-01, CPI annual average. Canadian dollar Real CEER is Bank of Canada, Valet series CEER_BROADM, total index (1999=100); each value is the annual average of the 12 monthly total Real CEER values (a computed annual average, not a figure the Bank publishes directly as an annual value).

How to read this page

Bars are the Laval average single-detached municipal tax bill increase. Lines are Canada inflation and Canadian dollar Real CEER.

The left axis is a percentage axis shared by the bars and the inflation line. The right axis is a separate index axis for Canadian dollar Real CEER only. CEER is an index and is not a percentage.

A year shown as “No data” has no bar for property tax and no line point for that series, and a missing year breaks a line. A verified 0% increase sits at the zero line and is marked “0% (verified)”.

Tax rates per $100 of assessment are separate from the trend and are not charted.
