A property assessment roll is an inventory of all real property within the municipal boundaries, and includes the actual value of every property.
The actual value is the most likely selling price of a property on July 1, 2022. In general, the value of a residential property is based on the sales price of similar properties, according to market conditions. In the case of income-producing properties, the value is normally based on their potential net rental income.
It is the basic tool used to calculate the amount of municipal and school taxes. It aims to ensure that the cost of municipal services is equitably shared among property owners based on the actual value of properties.
The Quebec Act respecting municipal taxation provides for the property assessment roll to be prepared every three years for three consecutive municipal fiscal years. The next three-year assessment roll will come into effect on January 1, 2024, and will be valid until 2026. As required under the Act, the actual value of properties listed on the roll will have been based on market conditions at July 1, 2022.
Contact an assessor at the Service de l'évaluation, which is Gatineau's property assessment unit, to have the file checked. If transcription or calculation errors were made in the property assessment, the assessor will correct them. If there is a difference of opinion, the next step is to submit an application for review to the Service de l'évaluation.
Tabling a new assessment roll does not generate new revenue for Gatineau overall. However, on an individual basis, it could lead to an increase or decrease in taxes on a given property.
Once the new assessment roll comes into effect on January 1, 2024, Gatineau's Service des finances will adjust the tax rates for each building category in accordance with the average variation for that category. If the percentage of the property
value increase for a given property is higher than the average value increase of properties within its category, it will likely mean an increase in taxes. Conversely, if the percentage increase is lower than the average increase, then the
taxes could decrease.
They can have different assessment values for reasons that are not necessarily apparent. A number of factors can account for the difference, including the size of the lot and building, renovations, materials used, interior improvements and additions.
The floor area is the gross surface corresponding to the sum of the areas of each floor of the main building and, if applicable, that of the attic and the integrated garage.
If you disagree with your property's assessment, you can apply for a review. This is how you do it.
