Gatineau property tax

Since 2024 Gatineau sets the residential (résiduelle, under 6 dwellings) general property tax rate separately for each unité de voisinage (neighbourhood unit), listed in Annex I of the tax bylaw. There is no single city-wide residential rate. The municipal component shown is the bylaw's 'taux de base' (5.224 $ per 1 000 $), which is a reference rate, not the rate every home pays. In 2026, Annex I lists 1092 neighbourhood units with rates from 1,613 $ to 7,544 $ per 1 000 $ (range counted from the bylaw annex). Transit and debt special taxes apply to all taxable properties. The infrastructure fund rate (0,579 $) is included in the base and category rates (bylaw art. 10). The 2026 budget shows a median home of 454 600 $ (spread value 454 600 $) paying a residential tax of 2 374,83 $, transit 644,17 $, residual materials 178,83 $ and debt service 377,32 $ (3 575,15 $ before ex-city taxes). Ex-city sector taxes per 1 000 $: Buckingham 0,018 $, Hull 0,036 $; per dwelling: Aylmer 6,42 $, Gatineau 9,53 $. Residual-materials charge: 178,83 $ per dwelling. Bylaw arts. 13-14 allow a credit of 0,386 $ per 1 000 $ for properties not connected to the city water service and 0,523 $ per 1 000 $ for properties not connected to the sewer service. School tax: the source rate is per 100 $ and has been multiplied by 10 here only so it can sit in the same per-1,000 $ unit as Gatineau's rates (no other change). School tax is billed separately by the school service centre, on the uniformized and spread (étalée) value, after a 25 000 $ exemption, for the school year July 1 to June 30.

Rates as published for the residential class. Bills can also include fixed charges, local improvement levies and utility fees that are not based on assessed value.

Gatineau's total residential rate of 0.8261% is above the 0.7228% average of the 35 Quebec municipalities we cover. A lower rate does not always mean a lower bill: tax = assessed value × rate, so cities with high home values often have lower rates.
