Highlights of the operating budget 

• The borough’s budget will increase by 5% compared to 2026, rising from $35.2 million to $36.9 million.
• Transfers from the city will remain the main source of funding in 2027, at $26.0 million (70%). Local revenue will account for $9.4 million (25%), while the allocation of the $1.5-million surplus (4%) will help cover planned expenditures and ensure a balanced budget.
•  The local services tax will increase from $0.0434 per $100 of assessed value in 2026 to $0.0437 per $100 in 2027, representing a 7% increase. The unit of assessment rate will rise from $57.91 to $66.60 in 2027, up 15%. When the rise in the local tax (services and unit of assessment rate) is combined, the total local increase comes to 9%. For an average-valued single-family home, this represents a 6% increase, while for an average-valued condominium or triplex, it amounts to 9%.

The rates for the general property tax and special tax will be determined by Ville de Montréal when it adopts its budget.
