Preventive Chimney Sweeping

Did you know that section 55 of By-law No. 1335 requires that residents have their chimney swept at least once every two years?

Since January 2008, Town Council offers owners who have had their chimney swept as a preventive measure the opportunity to receive a $10 compensation payment.

To receive this compensation, please bring the original invoice bearing the name and logo of the entrepreneur to the service counter at Town Hall (90 Roosevelt Avenue). Please note that you must make your request for compensation before December 31 and that only one compensation payment will be made per address per year.

The Town of Mount Royal, in cooperation with Montreal’s fire department, recommends that you validate the expertise of your chimney sweeper with the Association des professionnels du chauffage.
