Paying municipal taxes is an essential responsibility for residents, as it supports local services and infrastructure. These taxes fund important services like road maintenance, waste collection, and emergency services such as fire protection. By contributing to the municipality, residents help ensure the community remains functional and safe for everyone.

Interest & Penalities
According to the law, your tax account is subject to interests and penalities, and this also includes invoicing for transfer tax / welcome tax (articles 246 and 247 of the Act respecting municipal taxation). The law also provides that it is the responsibility of the ratepayer to ensure that all tax payments are made within the prescribed timeframe, even if he/she has not received a statement or invoice.
Also, the Municipality cannot remit or credit any interest for any reason – more precisely, according to article 981 of the Municipal Code of Quebec, neither Council nor a municipal officer can remit interest on a ratepayer’s account.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Owners are responsible for contacting the municipality to report mailing address changes. The Municipality is not responsible for the consequences related to issuing correspondence or tax invoices to an incorrect address, unless it has been advised in writing of the address change.
