City introduction
Mascouche is a city in the Lanaudière region, in Les Moulins regional county municipality on Montreal's North Shore. According to the City's municipal housing policy, its population passed the 50,000 mark with particularly strong growth over the past decade, and the 2021 Census counted 19,980 households, making Mascouche a young and fast-growing community whose territory combines urban sectors with extensive agricultural, forested and natural areas, including the Parc métropolitain du Domaine-Seigneurial.
The City adopted a five-year housing action plan for 2023–2028 alongside its housing policy, covering homeownership support, housing supply, densification and the residential environment. Its budgets are presented as a balance between investing in quality of life and controlling the tax burden: the adopted 2026 budget of $131.7 million pairs continued investment in roads, water and recreation with measures the City describes as keeping the average bill's property-tax increase below the inflation rate it cites.

Housing property-tax historical trend
The trend uses one measure only: the property tax increase the City of Mascouche publishes for the average bill, excluding service charges (tarification). 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.
Mascouche levies its general property tax as the sum of component rates. The figures below are the City's own published component rates and their total for the general tax, from the average-bill simulation in the official Budget 2026 presentation (average residential property, residual residential category, value held constant at $515,000 in both years).
2025: total general rate $0.6115 per $100 of assessment (components: base tax and environment $0.3357; regional files and special projects $0.0187; public transit $0.0487; debt service $0.1391; sanitation $0.0364; social housing and infrastructure $0.0329).

No official rate table for earlier years was opened and read directly, so no rate before 2025 is recorded here.
Method
This trend uses one metric only, every year: the property tax increase the City of Mascouche publishes for the average bill, excluding service charges (tarification).
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 Mascouche average bill property tax 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.
Tax rates per $100 of assessment are separate from the trend and are not charted.
