Ville de Montréal - Gestion financière

To set up a single tax system throughout the Montréal territory, the legislator empowered Montréal to continue gradual harmonization of the tax burden of its 13 sectors. For the purpose of tax harmonization, each former municipality makes up a sector. Consequently, contrary to the general municipal tax rule, Montréal is allowed to charge various fees according to sectors during the harmonization period.

Tax harmonization efforts are now continuing with respect to user fees. Water supply fees to residential buildings have, accordingly, been cut in 2010 for many sectors in wich they apply.

The user fees for water and solid waste services are listed by sector
