Taxes and assessment
Tax bill
Each year, tax bills are mailed out in early January. You can also view your tax bill online at municipal.acceo.com/immonet/Saint-Lambert.
If the total amount of your annual tax bill is $300 or more, you may pay it in four equal instalments. For 2023, the instalment due dates are: February 13, April 17, June 19 and August 21.
The payment counter is located at the Recreation Centre (600 Oak Avenue). If you have any questions, you can contact the Info-Taxes line at 450 466-3128.
If, for any reason, you do not receive your tax bill, you are still under obligation to pay your taxes within the deadlines stipulated by the City.
Special cases
Payment of your taxes
Payment methods are as follows:
- In person at the Recration centre tax office in cash, by debit card, by cheque or money order made out to 'Ville de Saint-Lambert'.
- In person or via the Internet at most financial institutions (To find it more easily, enter only "lambert" in the search engine.)
- By mail to: Recreation centre, 600 Oak Avenue, Saint-Lambert, Quebec, J4P 2R6. Please note that last year we opted to go green and no longer include a return envelope when sending out tax bills.
To avoid interest charges, we strongly recommend that you allow at least three business days for payments made at financial institutions or by mail. Overdue accounts carry annual interest charges of 10% and an annual penalty of 5%.
Property tax rate
For 2023, the property tax rate has been set per $100 valuation, according to the following:
Catégories | 2023 rate ($) | Saint-Lambert ($) | Progressive cash payment program ($) | Agglomeration and CMM ($) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Non residential | 2.7682 | 1.1662 | 0.1954 | 1.4066 |
Industrial immovables | 2.9021 | 1.2226 | 0.2049 | 1.4746 |
Residential buildings - 6 or more dwellings | 1,0613 | 0.4471 | 0.0749 | 0.5393 |
Serviced vacant land | 1.7859 | 0.7524 | 0.1261 | 0.9074 |
Residual | 0.8930 | 0.3762 | 0.0631 | 0.4537 |
When the valuation roll is deposited, if the value of your home entered on the roll increases, your taxes will not increase by the same amount. The tax rate takes into account the services provided by the City as well as the valuation of all buildings, not just the increase in value of your home.
Local or sector improvement tax
Local or sector improvement tax is used to pay back, over periods varying from 15 to 30 years, loans taken out by the municipality to finance part or all of the cost of new municipal infrastructures such as sewers, water mains, paving, and street lighting.
The work is first authorized by means of a by-law ordering the funds that need to be borrowed through the issue of renewable bonds for 5-, 7- or 10-year periods during the term of the by-law. The cost of the work is distributed on a pro-rata basis, usually according to property frontage or surface areas affected by the work.
The amount of sector tax shown on your municipal tax bill is the sum of all the by-laws affecting your property. It is important to point out that sector taxes vary across the municipality because not all new infrastructures were built at the same time.
Property assessment roll
The property assessment function is under the jurisdiction of the Longueuil agglomeration. For the territory of Saint-Lambert and the other related municipalities, it is overseen by the agglomeration’s Assessment Department.
Visit the Property Assessment page of the Ville de Longueuil website to consult the assessment roll, register a change of address, or apply for a review of your property assessment. You can also call the agglomeration’s Info-évaluation service at 450 463-7177.
