The assessment roll

“The assessment roll, which represents the inventory of all properties in a given jurisdiction, indicates the value of each property on the basis of its actual or commercial value, within the meaning of articles 43 to 45 of the L.F.M. It covers all the residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural and vacant properties. The values which are registered take account of the real market values on July 1 of the second fiscal year preceding the first for which it is conceived.

If no modifications are made to the property, these data are valid for the duration of the triennial roll. New assessment rolls are submitted every third year in compliance with the Act respecting municipal taxation. The 2011 roll comes into force on January 1, 2011. It is the basis for your 2011, 2012 and 2013 tax bills.” (From Evalweb)

In Mount Royal, property values show an average increase of 19.8% according to the latest assessment roll. Residential properties are up 19% and non residential ones, 22.8%.

Impact of property assessment on school tax

Don’t forget that the school tax bill, which is sent to you by the Comité de gestion de la taxe scolaire de l’île de Montréal (CGTSIM), will show an increase that is directly proportional to your property assessment increase. In other words, if the assessment of your home reflects a 40% increase, your school tax will also increase by 40%.
