Key information
A new assessment roll is filed every three years.
Even if you request a review, your tax bill must be paid according to the stated deadlines.
If a reduction is granted, any overpayment will be refunded with interest in accordance with the law.
A mandate from Ville de Montréal
A new evaluation roll is deposited every three years in the month of September. It represents the value of a given immovable at a given point in time based on the concepts of comparable property selling prices and current market replacement cost (adjusted for depreciation). Given the magnitude of the dossiers treated, the summer period 1 ½ years preceding its starting date is used as a base (Note: the base period was summer 2024 for the new roll which starts January 2026). The current roll is for three years from 2026 to 2028.
The Town’s evaluator is Le service d’évaluation foncière de Montréal and can be reached at (514) 280-3825 for questions relating to the evaluation roll or discussions about individual property evaluations.
Role review
Review of the Property Assessment Roll
To request an administrative review of your property’s assessment, you must complete the official form available at montreal.ca/evaluation-fonciere. The completed form must be submitted no later than April 30 of the first year in which a new assessment roll is filed. The municipal assessor will respond to your request in writing. If a disagreement persists between the parties, recourse may be sought before the Tribunal administratif du Québec. This process is also subject to official forms, fees, and deadlines.
You may also request an administrative review following a change to your property’s assessment (e.g., due to significant modifications to a building). Such requests must be submitted within 60 days of the issuance of the notice of modification.
Please note that even if an assessment review is underway, the tax bill must be paid in full as originally issued. Failure to pay will result in interest charges calculated based on applicable due dates. However, if a reduction in the assessment is granted, the City is legally obligated to refund the overpaid amount, including interest, on any excess payments.
