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.

La démarche varie selon votre situation :

• Vous avez déposé une demande de révision? Vous pouvez tout de suite prendre rendez-vous.
• Vous n’avez fait aucune modification? Vous pouvez tout de suite prendre rendez-vous.
• Vous avez effectué des travaux? Vous devez remplir et soumettre le document Enquête de travaux (avec ou sans permis), puis prendre rendez-vous.
• Vous avez acheté? Vous pouvez prendre rendez-vous, puis remplir et soumettre le document Enquête de vente.

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
