Search by lot number

If you don’t know the lot number, perform a search by area using the pull-down menu. Numbered from 1 to 5, the areas serve to calculate the amount of a financial contribution. If a project overlaps 2 areas, the highest area-based contribution takes precedence.

Search by sector

If you do not know the lot number, search by sector using the drop-down menu. Numbered 1 through 5, the sectors are used to calculate the amount of a financial contribution. If a project spans two sectors, the higher contribution applies.

Characteristics of the project

After entering the area and lot number, you must provide the residential floor area and the number of dwellings for your project.

Residential area

The residential area corresponds to the total floor area, including the common elements (e.g., mezzanines, stairs, elevators, entrance hall). It does not include commercial spaces, parking lots or basement areas not occupied by dwellings or parts of dwellings.

Excluded areas:

• Social housing area
• Affordable housing area subject to a resale price control for a minimum period of 20 years.
• The off-market housing area owned by a non-profit organization, a cooperative, a government, a paramunicipal corporation, a public educational institution or university, or a social trust, provided that certain conditions set out in the by-law are met.

View the by-law for further information. If you have any questions, please contact the Service de l’habitation at [email protected]

Until December 31, 2026, a conversion from office use to residential dwellings in Area 1 of the by-law (roughly corresponding to downtown) will no longer be considered an addition to a residential floor area.

Number of dwellings

The number of dwellings is taken into account in the calculation of the contribution to the family component.
