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.

Since January 1, 2025, a fresh property assessment roll has carried the weight of every welcome-tax bill issued in Repentigny. The City's Land Assessment Division deposited the 2025-2026-2027 roll on November 1, 2024, freezing the real value of each property at the July 1, 2023 reference date — and that roll stays in force through December 31, 2027. For a buyer signing on a street in Le Gardeur, Notre-Dame-des-Champs, or Le Vieux Saint-Paul, the taxable base for the duty on transfers of immovables is the greater of the price paid and the standardized value carried from this new roll. The calculator above already reflects the municipal grid that sits above that base.
Reading the Lanaudière market before you close
The Centris community profile for Repentigny and the Lanaudière regional statistics track quarterly medians by property type — single-family, condominium, plex — alongside the average days-on-market figure. Province-wide, the QPAREB's Q1 2026 barometer flags an active but more measured market than the recent peaks, with the single-family median still inching up on a single-digit annual pace. Together, those two reads help you anticipate the standardized value that will show up on the municipal notice, since it is what feeds the taxable base used to compute the bill.
A clean four-bracket grid, side by side with Mascouche, L'Assomption, and Montreal
Repentigny rides the standard provincial grid with four brackets and a clean jump straight into the top municipal slice the moment the taxable base crosses the reference threshold — no transitional step to soften the curve. Inside MRC L'Assomption, Mascouche and L'Assomption run the exact same mechanics: the curve is identical from one city to the next, so what actually distinguishes the bill on the same deal price is the standardized value pulled from each municipality's own roll. Cross the Rivière des Prairies into Montreal and the geometry shifts entirely: the metropolis stacks several transitional steps before its top bracket, which eases the slope just above the provincial threshold but adds new ones much higher up the scale. Repentigny skips those mid-tier landings — once you push past the municipal threshold, the calculation drops straight into the top slice.
No rebate on the duty itself, but levers worth knowing after closing
The City does not run a program aimed at reimbursing the welcome tax, and Council has exercised its option to waive the supplementary duty (droit supplétif) on transfers originating from a deceased grantor, under section 20.1 d) of the Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables (CQLR, c. D-15.1). Once the deal is signed at the notary's office, the citizen grants page opens several doors: grants for eco-friendly upgrades, renovation grants, financial assistance for homes with a downslope garage, and tree-planting support. Owners aged 65 and over can stack the municipal home-care program for seniors on top of Revenu Québec's grant to offset a municipal tax increase, an especially relevant lever when a fresh roll pushes the assessed value upward.
One bill, thirty days — and the annual account that follows
The welcome-tax bill is payable in a single instalment within thirty days of the City mailing it, unlike the annual municipal tax account, which is spread across three due dates (March 5, June 4 and September 3 for 2026). Payment flows through most financial institutions online, by mail, through the outside mail slot at City Hall, or at the Taxation counter — cash, cheque, bank draft, INTERAC debit or money order; the City does not accept credit cards. Open a citizen account on the municipal portal to keep tabs on your file and receive due-date reminders. Once the sale is published at the Quebec land register, your notary will confirm whether you qualify for the provincial home-access tax credit framed by the same Act.

What is the transfer tax?
Commonly called the "welcome tax", the real estate transfer tax is a mandatory municipal tax collected when a property changes hands in Quebec. It is always paid by the buyer, never the seller, to the municipality where the building is located, in the months following the signing at the notary.
Is the welcome tax paid every year?
No. The transfer duty is paid only once, when the property changes hands. Do not confuse it with municipal and school taxes, which recur every year: the welcome tax is a single bill, sent by the municipality after the sale is registered in the Land Register.
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 market value of the building, meaning the value entered in the municipal assessment roll multiplied by the city's comparative factor.
This amount is then subject to a progressive rate scale that varies by municipality. In 2026, the first bracket (up to $62,900) is taxed at 0.5%, the next ones at 1% and then 1.5%, and several large cities add higher brackets (up to 4% in Montreal).
New construction: the tax base is the price before GST and QST.
Calculation example (2026)
For a property purchased in Montreal at a price of $600,000 (tax base):
- $0 to $62,900 (0.5%) :$314.50
- $62,900 to $315,000 (1%) :$2,521.00
- $315,000 to $552,300 (1.5%) :$3,559.50
- $552,300 to $600,000 (2%) :$954.00
- Total to pay:$7,349.00

Who is exempt from the welcome tax?
The Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables provides exemptions. The most common cases:
- Transfer between spouses: married, in a civil union, or common-law partners who have lived together for at least 12 months (in case of separation, the transfer must occur within 12 months of the end of the union);
- Transfer in the direct line: between parents and children or grandparents and grandchildren (but not between siblings);
- Tax base under $5,000;
- Transfer to a corporation in which the transferor holds at least 90% of the voting shares.
Even when exempt, the municipality may charge a special duty, generally capped at $200. The exemption must be recorded in the notarized deed: your notary claims it for you.
Not exempt? The 2026 first-time buyer tax credit can still refund up to $5,875 of your tax. See the first-time buyer credit guide
Why is it called the "welcome tax"?
The official name is "duties on transfers of immovables", introduced by a 1976 Quebec law allowing municipalities to collect this duty. The nickname is often attributed to Jean Bienvenue, Minister of Municipal Affairs at the time ("bienvenue" means "welcome" in French), but the expression mostly owes its success to its irony: a "welcome" billed to the new owner. Both terms refer to exactly the same tax.
