Pontiac Property Tax Rate 2026
The residential rate, the taxes that add up to it, and a calculator for your home
Pontiac's 2026 residential property tax rate is 0.5882% of assessed value, down from 0.6972% in 2025 (-15.6%). 2026 is the first year of a new assessment roll, which raised the values of single-family homes and cottages by 23.3% on average; Pontiac lowered its rate to offset part of it, so the change in the rate is not the change in bills. A home assessed at $500,000 pays about $2,941 a year, and one at $1,000,000 about $5,882. It is the 7th lowest of the 29 Quebec cities and towns we cover; their median rate is 0.6745%.
