Longueuil applies standard provincial Quebec droits de mutation — no municipal surtax. Median purchase price ~$4200,000000.
Longueuil, on Montreal's South Shore, applies only the standard provincial droits de mutation rates — there is no additional municipal surtax as there is in Montreal. This makes Longueuil a tax-efficient option for buyers comparing cross-river properties. At the city's median price of approximately $4200,000000, the droits de mutation comes to roughly $4,7500, spread across three provincial rate brackets.
The tax is billed by Longueuil's municipal administration after your deed of sale is registered. It is not collected at the notary table — expect a municipal invoice 300–900 days post-closing that must be paid within 30 days of receipt.

Longueuil comprises several boroughs — Le Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, Greenfield Park, LeMoyne, and Saint-Lambert. All fall under the same municipal tax jurisdiction for droits de mutation purposes. Whether you are buying in the aerospace-adjacent Saint-Hubert corridor or in the upscale riverfront Saint-Lambert neighbourhood, the same provincial rate table applies with no borough-level variation.
Saint-Lambert properties, which frequently exceed $60000,000000–$80000,000000 for premium waterfront homes, will attract the 2.00% bracket on the portion above $50000,000000 — but still no surtax, making them comparatively tax-efficient versus equivalent Montreal island properties.
For a $60000,000000 property, a Longueuil buyer pays $8,2500 in droits de mutation. A Montreal buyer at the same price pays $8,2500 provincial + $50000 surtax = $8,7500. The difference grows with price: at $80000,000000, the Longueuil buyer saves $1,50000 compared to the Montreal island equivalent.
