2026-2028 municipal assessment
Your municipal assessment is not your property’s price
Montréal’s new roll took effect on January 1, 2026. It is used to calculate your taxes, from market values as of July 1, 2024. Here’s what it says, what it doesn’t, and how to find your property’s real value today.

Why the two numbers are different
A date that is already over two years old
The roll freezes values as of July 1, 2024 for three years. The market has kept moving since.
A mass appraisal
The City assesses hundreds of thousands of buildings with statistical models. Nobody visits your property.
Not all your renovations are seen
A new kitchen, bathroom or roof matters a lot to a buyer, but not always to the roll.
What really sets the price
Recent sales of similar properties, the condition, the street, and demand in your area when you sell.

How to find your assessment
In Montréal and the agglomeration’s cities, the roll can be viewed online at montreal.ca or at your borough office. In Laval, on the North Shore and the South Shore, each city publishes its own roll, with its own reference date: check your municipality’s website.
Read the City of Montréal’s press releaseFrequently asked questions
My assessment went up a lot. Is my property worth that much?
Not necessarily. The assessment reflects the July 2024 market through a general model. The real value depends on recent comparable sales and your property’s condition.
Can I sell for more than my municipal assessment?
Yes, and it’s common when the market has risen or the property is renovated. The opposite also happens. Only a comparable-sales analysis gives an accurate picture.
Does Andrew’s analysis replace a certified appraisal?
No. It is a comparative market analysis prepared by a real estate broker, to help you decide. A lender or a court needs a certified appraiser.
