All owners of taxable property in the province of Québec must pay school taxes. The Education Act requires school boards to invoice and collect school taxes.
If you are a new owner of a property, you must pay the tax bill before the due date even if it is addressed to the previous owner. Please be sure to let us know of this change, you will not receive a new tax bill as it was already issued. However, this does not remove your obligation to pay your taxes by the deadlines set by the School Board.
If you have sold your property in recent months or if you are not the owner of the building for which this bill has been issued, please forward this bill to the new owner, or return your tax bill to us as soon as possible indicating “SOLD”

School taxes are calculated using a formula based on your municipal property valuation and make up approximately 15% of our annual operating budget. School tax bills correspond to the school year – July 1 to June 30 and are based on information we have on file in the month of May.
As modifications to your property occur, any changes in valuations are forwarded to the school board from the various municipalities that make up our territory. Property owners are notified, in writing, of the modification by their municipality. The school board processes modifications and produces a revised tax bill with the adjustments arising from the changes in the property valuations.
In order to reduce the impact of the increase in property valuations on school taxes, school boards “average” increases over the same period as municipalities; 2, 3 or 4 years.
How is the averaging calculated?
The difference between the previous municipal valuation roll and the new roll is divided by three and added to the previous year’s valuation, whether it is an increase or a decrease.
2013 – 2015 Previous roll |
2016 – 2018 New roll |
Difference | 2016/2017 Value for school taxes |
2017/2018 Value for school taxes |
2018/2019 Value for school taxes |
$100,000 | $130,000 | $30,000 | $110,000 | $120,000 | $130,000 |
If there was a change in valuation after January 1st, the law provides that there is no averaging.
