Local municipalities, MRCs, metropolitan communities, public transport organizations and intermunicipal authorities must transmit their financial report and other financial information to the ministry Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation (MAMH) each year. The municipality of the Township of Low invites you to consult their site for additional information such as the financial profile and forecast data.
Property tax, more commonly known as “municipal taxes”, constitutes the main source of revenue for Quebec municipalities. It is mainly composed of the general property tax, calculated based on the assessment of properties, and rates for waterworks and residual materials management services, in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Taxation Act. It is through this contribution of income that municipalities can develop and equip themselves with infrastructure as well as services to the population.
The tax invoices were mailed on February 29, 2024 to the owners registered on the assessment roll. Tax rates are determined annually by the Municipality's operating budget, which is adopted by the municipal council during the month of December of the previous year.
In 2024, the property tax rate for the fiscal year is established as follows:
Residual class: $0.46224 per hundred dollars of valuation;
Non-residential category: $0.5714 per hundred dollars of assessment;
Buildings with six or more units: $0.50368 per hundred dollars of assessment;
Registered agricultural operation: $0.46224 per hundred dollars of valuation;
Industrial class: $0.57718 per hundred dollars of valuation;
Forestry class: $0.46224 per hundred dollars of assessment;
Share of the MRC de la Vallée-de-la-Gatineau: $0.1321 per hundred dollars of assessment.
It is necessary to add to property taxes the rates for household waste, fire safety and the Sureté du Québec (By-law 2024-001).
