If you have recently purchased a property or carried out renovation, development or extension work on your property, a property assessment inspector may visit the premises. For immovables with more than one dwelling unit, the inspector must have access to all units. 

Under the act concerning municipal taxation (Loi sur la fiscalité municipale), an inspection is required every 9 years. Therefore, you may receive an inspection request even if you have not made any changes to your property. 

Other techniques also enable the Direction de l’évaluation foncière to update data related to your property. They include sales inquiries, construction cost analyses, economic data collection and self-inspection forms for condominiums.

The procedure depends on your situation: 

• If you did not make any changes to your property, book your appointment right away. 
• If you have carried out work on your property, please fill out and submit the following form: Construction work inquiry (with or without a permit), then book your appointment. 
• If you have purchased the property, you can book your appointment, then submit the Sales inquiry.

The following actions will be taken depending on the changes noted since your last inspection: 

No changes to the property: 

• The property assessment role remains unchanged 

• No notice of amendment is issued 

Minor changes to the property: 

• The property assessment roll remains unchanged 

• No additional tax account is issued 

• Changes will be made in your future assessment roll 

Major changes to the property: 

• The new property value is determined 
• A notice of amendment including the date of coming into force of the new value be mailed to you 
• A new, revised municipal tax account will be issued
