“Inflation, rising costs, rising wages, new infrastructure work, so many reasons that are invoked to justify the steepest tax increases in 2023,” said the Association of Quebec Landlords (APQ ) in his round of tax hikes, shared on his website.
Thus, in Montreal, the rates will vary according to the borough, ranging from 1.7% in Ville-Marie to 6% in L’Île-Bizard, can we see in the table. On average, rates will be high at 4.1%, compared to 2% in 2022.
In 2023, Laval will impose a new annual tax of $100 on residences that heat with oil, in addition to increasing its rate from 1.9% in 2022 to 4.8%.
In Longueuil, the rate will drop to 5.6%, instead of 3.4% in 2022.
On the Sherbrooke side, the rates will remain unchanged at 3%, except for buildings worth more than $750,000, which will be taxed more.
Same story in Lévis, which will increase its taxes to 6.8% for buildings with six or more units, in addition to a general increase to 4.6%, while the rate was at 2.5% in 2022.
