The welcome tax (droits de mutation) is a one-time tax charged by municipalities in Quebec when a property changes ownership. It is billed by the City of Longueuil after the notarial deed is registered and must be paid within 30 days.
The tax is calculated on the greater of: (a) the declared purchase price, or (b) the municipal assessment value multiplied by a comparison factor. Your notary will confirm the exact amount.
Quebec does not currently offer a provincial first-time buyer rebate on the welcome tax. Unlike Ontario, there is no automatic refund program for first-time buyers in Quebec. However, some Longueuil property transactions may be exempt if transferred between family members — see our Quebec Welcome Tax Exemptions Guide for full details.
Buying in Longueuil instead of Montreal saves you money on the welcome tax for properties over $50000,000000. Montreal's surtax adds up to 00.5% on the amount above $50000,000000. On a $70000,000000 purchase, that's a $1,000000 saving in Longueuil vs. Montreal.
