City introduction

Pointe-Claire is a municipality within the urban agglomeration of Montréal, on the Island of Montreal, with a growing population of over 33,000 residents, as the City presents itself in its New Residents' Guide. The City borders Lake Saint-Louis, a picturesque body of water on which much of its nautical programming is offered, and its territory holds 50 public parks and green spaces, most notably the Terra-Cotta Natural Park, an urban green space of almost 40 hectares with 4.4 kilometres of hiking trails. The City is also known for its extensive canopy of mature trees throughout its territory.

Municipal tax bills in Pointe-Claire are established on the value of the property and finance the municipal services offered to residents, such as snow removal, culture, sports and leisure, collections and roadwork, while a large share of tax revenue is remitted to the Montreal agglomeration for island-wide services. The City describes its budget practice as maintaining services while limiting the growth of the municipal tax bill, a theme repeated in its annual budget presentations.

Housing property-tax historical trend

The trend uses one measure only: the average residential municipal tax increase the City of Pointe-Claire publishes 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.

2025: $0.6374 per $100 of assessment, residential building (immeuble résidentiel); the same rate applies to buildings with 6 or more dwellings.

No earlier-year official rate table was opened and read directly, so no rate before 2025 is recorded here. Third-party rate histories for Pointe-Claire (for example WOWA's year-by-year municipal rate table) were seen but are not used as a source on this site.

Method

This trend uses one metric only, every year: the average residential municipal tax increase the City of Pointe-Claire publishes 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 Pointe-Claire residential municipal 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. 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.
