2026 First-Time Buyer Tax Credit
Since April 2026, Quebec offers a refundable tax credit covering up to $5,875 of the welcome tax for eligible first-time buyers. The credit reimburses 100% of the tax on the first $5,000, then 25% of the slice up to $8,500. Three conditions apply: you must not have lived in a dwelling owned by you or your spouse during the year of acquisition or the 4 preceding calendar years, the property must be your principal residence, and the dwelling must be eligible. Retroactive to January 1, 2026; advance payment available from October 2026 for credits exceeding $1,000.

Dollard-des-Ormeaux runs its own welcome-tax grid, with thresholds updated for transfers signed on or after January 1, 2026 and published on the City's Duties of Transfer of Immovables page. The City keeps the two standard provincial brackets at the bottom, inserts a municipal intermediate step before its top bracket, then caps the curve with a final bracket for the highest-value transfers. That mid-range insertion — rather than the height of any single rate — is what shapes the notice issued in Dollard. The calculator above mirrors that mechanic to give you a working estimate; the official notice mailed by Taxation remains the document of record for payment.
An active market where listings are rebuilding
In Q4 2025, the median single-family price in Dollard-des-Ormeaux reached $760,000 and the median condominium price $435,000, with 332 and 142 sales respectively over the trailing four quarters, per the Centris real-estate statistics for Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Sales are up year-over-year in both categories, but new listings climbed faster (+38% in the quarter), pushing active listings up 40% on single-family and 37% on condos. Practically, a buyer has somewhat more selection and a little more room to negotiate than in the prior quarters, and the welcome-tax notice lands on a taxable base drawn from a holding median. Worth noting in parallel: the new 2026-2027-2028 triennial roll mailed in November 2025 reflects market conditions as of July 1, 2024 and will feed notices for the next three fiscal years.
What moves the amount, and how Dollard compares with its West Island neighbours
The taxable base is the greater of the price paid, the consideration stated in the notarial deed, or the market value at the time of the transfer (roll value times the comparative factor published annually by the City, set to 1.00 for 2026, the year the new roll takes effect). Verify any address through the property assessment roll portal of the Montreal agglomeration. On the rate-grid side, neighbouring Beaconsfield made a different choice: no intermediate step, but a single jump to the top bracket triggered at a pushed-out municipal threshold. Pointe-Claire, just south, shares Dollard's intermediate-step shape but runs a gentler slope at the upper end. Dollard sits between the two: a progressive curve like Pointe-Claire's, but one that reaches its top bracket sooner on the priciest transfers. To see the gap, run the same value across the three cities in the calculator above.
Municipal programs worth knowing when you move in
Dollard-des-Ormeaux does not offer a dedicated welcome-tax rebate, but several programs apply to a new owner settling in. The Seniors' Assistance Program for the payment of municipal taxes addresses a frequent West Island situation — a succession, or an elderly parent moving into a bungalow or condo in town. The home renovation grant page pulls together the programs aimed at upgrading a mature housing stock — relevant when buying one of the City's typical detached homes. On the amenities side, the Dollard Centre for the Arts at 12001 De Salaberry Boulevard and the municipal library open municipal cultural access from registration.
Payment, timing and the provincial home-access credit
The welcome-tax notice is mailed after the sale is published at the Quebec land register and must be paid in a single instalment within 30 days. The payment methods set out on the City's Municipal Taxes page apply to the notice: online banking using the 18-digit reference number (matricule) shown on the bill with no dashes, the counter or ATM at most financial institutions, cheque payable to Ville de Dollard-des-Ormeaux mailed to Taxation at 12001 De Salaberry Boulevard, or in person at City Hall Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (cheque, debit or cash — credit cards are not accepted). Online consultation and payment of your account run through the Voilà! portal for Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Plan for at least 48 business hours so the payment reaches the City in time to avoid the interest and penalty set out in the by-law. Your notary will confirm whether you qualify for the provincial home-access tax credit, governed by the Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables (CQLR, c. D-15.1).

What is the transfer tax?
Commonly called "welcome tax", the real estate transfer tax is a mandatory municipal tax imposed when transferring a property in Quebec. It must be paid by the buyer to the municipality where the building is located.
How is the welcome tax calculated?
The calculation is based on the highest amount among the following:
- The purchase price paid for the building;
- The amount of the consideration entered in the deed of sale;
- The value entered in the municipal assessment roll.
This amount is then subject to a progressive rate scale that varies by municipality. For example, a bracket from $0 to $50,000 may be taxed at 0.5%, while a bracket over $500,000 may be taxed at 1.5% or more.
Calculation example
For a property purchased in Montreal at a price of $600,000 (tax base):
- $0 to $61,500 (0.5%):$307.50
- $61,500.01 to $307,800 (1.0%):$2,463.00
- $307,800.01 to $552,300 (1.5%):$3,667.50
- $552,300.01 to $600,000 (2.0%):$954.00
- Total to pay:$7,392.00
