Mont-Saint-Hilaire

City introduction
As the City describes itself in its own portrait, Mont-Saint-Hilaire is a city of some 19,500 residents that combines proximity to Montréal with the calm of its natural setting: it sits at the foot of the mountain, classified as a UNESCO world biosphere reserve, and is bordered by the Richelieu River. Its long-term planning document, the sustainable urban plan, describes a largely residential territory of about 44 km², low in density and mostly built with single-family homes, whose development remains strongly tied to the mountain and the river.
The City governs through an integrated management approach centred on citizens and sustainable development, and its 2025 review and 2026 action plan emphasize quality services, environmental protection and fiscal discipline. In its Budget 2026 announcement, the City presents the year's decisions as keeping the residential tax increase below inflation despite the entry into force of a new assessment roll that raised average home values by more than 20%.

CEER for 2026 is No data because the year is incomplete.
Housing property-tax historical trend
The trend uses one measure only: the increase the City of Mont-Saint-Hilaire publishes for the average home 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.
No verified residential rate is recorded in this section. No Ville de Mont-Saint-Hilaire official tax-rate table stating the adopted general residential rate per $100 of assessment was found on the City's site. The City's Rôle d'évaluation page explains the mechanism (when a new roll raises values, the City lowers its rates to keep the increase reasonable) but does not state a residential rate figure.

Method
This trend uses one metric only, every year: the increase the City of Mont-Saint-Hilaire publishes for the average home 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 Mont-Saint-Hilaire average home 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.
Tax rates per $100 of assessment are separate from the trend and are not charted.
