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.

services are listed by sector |
