This is obtained by averaging the variation in taxable values resulting from the coming into force of the roll. Only municipalities have jurisdiction in the matter of assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The increase or decrease in the value entered on the new assessment roll compared to that on the previous roll is averaged over the length of the roll, which is generally three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The percentages for 2025-2026 year are established based on the number of students in the territory served by the two organizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\nCentre de services scolaire des Trois-Lacs<\/td> 75.7%<\/td><\/tr> Comit\u00e9 de gestion de la taxe scolaire de l’\u00eele de Montr\u00e9al<\/td> 24.3%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n
\n Back to top<\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\nPrevious balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The previous balance shown on the school tax bill is the amount of the school tax plus outstanding interest on the date the bill was printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since arrears were calculated as of the printing date, payments made and amounts payable after that date are not included in the calculation of arrears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n
\n Back to top<\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\nInterest charges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Interest is payable on school taxes at the rate applicable under the first paragraph of section 28 of the Tax Administration <\/em>Act<\/em>. Every tax bill clearly states the applicable interest rate and the fact that it may be changed without notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInterest is added automatically to any bill not paid by the due date. Interest is calculated daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Education Act<\/em> specifies that no payment of school taxes or interest may be waived.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA property owner with serious grounds to believe that interest charges have been wrongfully added to their account should send a written request to have their account reviewed, provide their name, address, and account number, explain the reasons for their request, and attach supporting evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owner must pay their bill before their account will be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an interest dispute request, please complete and submit the following form<\/a>, clearly indicating that it is an interest dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n

It is the owner\u2019s responsibility to ensure that their school tax bill is paid. They must take the necessary steps to ensure that the mortgagee makes the required payments on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n Back to top<\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"School tax rate The school tax rate for 2025-2026 is $0.08423 per $100 of assessment for all school service centres and school boards in Qu\u00e9bec.
