Agriculture Development of the MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent

All assessment procedures are entrusted to the FQM évaluation foncière.

The evaluation of the property properties of the MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent is based on three items:

  • Maintaining inventory: all properties must be visited within 9 years;
  • Continuous update: correct the information to match the current situation (in the case of renovations, demolition, change of address or owner, etc.);
  • An equilibration: every three years (optional) or every six years (mandatory), the property values are readjusted according to the prevailing market price of the moment.

For questions about your tax account, please contact your municipality first.

Requesting an Administrative Review

1. What is an administrative review?

The Act respecting municipal taxation (sections 124 to 138.4) provides for an administrative review of any entry on the property assessment roll where an application for review has been filed. The review is provided to correct errors or omissions that escaped the notice of the assessor of the municipal body responsible for assessment concerned. The assessor seized of an admissible application for review (see question No. 4) must assess the merits of the contestation. Depending on the nature and accuracy of the grounds invoked in the application, the assessor may proceed with the review by means the assessor deems appropriate. During that review, the assessor may, in particular,

1. verify the various calculation parameters that resulted in the establishment of the value; and
2. meet with the applicant or visit the immovable concerned.

2. Who may apply for review?

Any person having an interest in contesting the correctness, existence or absence of an entry on the property assessment roll relative to a unit of assessment the person or another person owns, may file an application for review in that regard with the municipal body responsible for assessment concerned. A person bound to pay tax or compensation to the local municipality or the school board that uses the property assessment roll is deemed to have the interest required to make such an application.
