Buying your first home?

For a property acquired in 2026 or later, Quebec refunds 100% of the first $5,000 of duties paid, plus 25% of the next $3,500, up to $5,875. The credit decreases for a property over $750,000 and disappears at $1M. You claim it on your income tax return (an advance payment is possible).

When and to whom do you pay?

The welcome tax is paid once, to the City of Montréal. The bill arrives a few weeks after the deed of sale is registered. Plan for this amount in your budget, on top of your down payment and notary fees. If the municipal assessment (multiplied by the comparative factor) is higher than the price paid, that amount is used instead.
