Brossard applies standard provincial Quebec droits de mutation — no municipal surtax. Median purchase price ~$490,000.
Brossard, home to the REM Panama terminus and Quartier DIX30, applies only the standard provincial droits de mutation with no additional municipal surtax. This is a meaningful advantage for buyers comparing Brossard condos near the Panama or Du Quartier REM stations to equivalent properties on the Montreal island — where a surtax of 0.5% applies on the purchase price above $500,000.
At Brossard's median price of approximately $490,000, the droits de mutation totals roughly $5,600 — just below the threshold where the 2% bracket kicks in. New condo towers near the REM stations frequently list above $500,000, pushing buyers into that higher bracket, but still with no surtax.
| Purchase Price Slice | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $50,000 | 0.5% |
| $50,001 – $250,000 | 1.0% |
| $250,001 – $500,000 | 1.5% |
| $500,001 – $1,000,000 | 2.0% |
| Above $1,000,000 | 2.5% |
$420,000: $4,800 | $490,000: $5,600 | $600,000: $8,250 | $750,000: $11,250
Properties within walking distance of the Panama and Du Quartier REM stations command a price premium of roughly 5–10% over equivalent units farther from transit, according to market observations. This means buyers near these stations should expect to pay more — and thus a somewhat higher LTT. However, the REM premium is generally considered a sound long-term investment given the reliability and frequency of the service.
For a $650,000 condo near Panama station, the Brossard droits de mutation is $9,250. An equivalent $650,000 property in Montreal would generate $9,250 provincial + $750 surtax = $100. The surtax savings of $750–$1,500+ on typical Brossard transit-oriented condos is real, though it should not be the primary driver of a purchase decision.
Many Brossard buyers are purchasing from developers in new condo towers. For droits de mutation purposes, the taxable value is the full purchase price including GST and QST where applicable. New construction buyers who qualify for GST/QST new housing rebates should ensure their notary calculates the droits de mutation on the correct net price after any applicable rebates that reduce the actual amount paid.
After your notary registers the deed of sale, the City of Brossard (as part of the agglomération de Longueuil for certain services, but a separate municipality for LTT billing) issues the droits de mutation invoice approximately 30–90 days post-closing. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice. Keep your LTT reserve liquid and accessible after closing.
