Règlement SH-776 (adopted 17 December 2025): taux de base and taux particulier de la catégorie résiduelle 0,9823 $ per $100 of value; six logements ou plus 1,1247 $; non résidentiels 2,7347 $; industriels 3,2002 $; terrains vagues desservis 3,9290 $; agricoles and forestiers 0,6542 $. Transit tax (transport en commun et adapté) 0,0364 $ per $100 on all property. Flat per-dwelling compensations are billed in addition, e.g. sewer 113,00 $ per logement, domestic waste 132,00 $, recyclables 46,50 $, organics 114,00 $, biting-insect control 32,00 $ for a 1-logement property, snow removal 92,00 $ (1 to 3 logements, streets in the snow-removal plan only); water (aqueduc) 293,00 $ per logement (art. 15). School tax applies to the uniformized adjusted value in excess of the first $25,000 (exemption), so the municipal and school rates cannot simply be added for a bill. School tax is billed separately by the Centre de services scolaire de l'Énergie, not by the City.
