* The rate changed with a new or phased-in assessment roll, so the bill changed less than the rate: see the city's page.
Each rate is the total on a home's bill as a share of its assessed value: the city's own rate, any regional or county rate, and the school tax. Each city's page breaks it down and links to the city's published rates.
How homes are assessed in Quebec
Quebec cities reassess homes every three years, so assessments trail recent prices, and lower their rates when a new roll raises values: a change in the rate is not always a change in the bill. The tax is the assessed value times the rate, so compare bills, not only rates, between provinces.
