Montréal

Quebec

All dollar amounts on this page are in Canadian dollars.

City introduction

Montréal presents itself as a city where everything is close at hand: local shops, parks, bike paths, cultural activities, major employers, public transit and universities, along with the St. Lawrence River and Mount Royal. Residents can choose a home based on their needs and on the neighbourhood life each part of the city offers, from the bustle of downtown to quieter family-oriented districts.

The city is made up of 19 boroughs, each with its own identity. The City's own guide describes heritage houses and green lanes in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, the typical Montréal plexes and colourful exterior staircases of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal at the foot of Mount Royal, the transformed industrial buildings and Atwater Market of Le Sud-Ouest, and Ville-Marie, which combines residential districts with the business centre, Old Montréal, and the city's cultural and economic heart.

Housing across the boroughs ranges from single-family houses and duplexes or triplexes to townhouses, condominiums and rental buildings, so households of different sizes and budgets can find a place in the city, whether in central districts or in greener, calmer boroughs such as L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève.

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 in tax charges (charges fiscales) published by the City of Montréal in its budget for the year. 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 Montréal rate is recorded in this section. Montréal does not levy one single residential rate: its municipal taxes combine a general property tax (with rates that vary by property category and value tranche), a water tax, a road tax, the ARTM contribution tax and borough service and investment taxes that differ by borough, so a single city-wide residential rate per $100 of assessment does not exist in the City's own presentation. The City's official rate pages (Taux de taxes pour 2026; 2025 tax rates) were located and opened, but their rate tables are script-rendered and no table text could be read from them, so no rate figure is adopted here rather than taken from a third-party summary. The City's official open-data dataset "Taux de taxation et tarification" (Ville de Montréal, via the Government of Canada open data portal) publishes the detailed rates by year, property type and borough and is the official source to extract rates from in a later pass.

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the increase in tax charges (charges fiscales) published by the City of Montréal in its budget for the year.

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 Montréal published tax charges 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.
