Welcome Tax Calculator Saint-Georges 2026

A 2026 single-family median that lands inside the provincial middle bracket

Centris real-estate statistics for Saint-Georges post a steady single-family segment at the start of 2026: 67 first-quarter sales (+1% year-over-year), a $330,331 median (+18%) and 53 days on the market. Over the trailing four quarters, the segment prints 242 transactions (-2%) at a $298,832 median (+14%); the overall residential segment pulls in 286 sales and $91.4M in volume (+12%), and active single-family listings rebound to 72 (+14%). Condominium and plex activity stays under Centris' statistical-reliability threshold for the quarter. Against a 2021 census population near 32,935 — up 1% from 2016, that pace puts the typical Georgian deal squarely inside the provincial middle bracket, the very zone where the local grid starts to matter relative to Chaudière-Appalaches peers.

Where the bill comes from: Évimbec's roll and the four city sectors

The tax base is the highest of the price paid, the consideration stated in the deed, and the standardized value entered on the roll at transfer. The 2025-2026-2027 triennial roll is maintained by chartered firm Évimbec ltée and covers the four city sectors — Ville, Paroisse Est, Aubert-Gallion and Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande — across 14,570 properties valued at $5.3 billion as of the July 1, 2023 market reference date. The public assessment roll takes free address-based lookups, capped at ten per day, and Saint-Georges Géomatique layers matricule, cadastre and lot boundaries onto an aerial view. When the new roll lifts a value on one side of boulevard Lacroix without the other, it is that standardized figure — not the deed price alone — that the welcome-tax estimate has to start from.

Saint-Georges, Lévis and Québec on the same bracket map

Saint-Georges runs a clean four-bracket grid, with no intermediate municipal step between the provincial middle bracket and the top municipal rate. Lévis follows the same mechanic with the same internal thresholds: for two properties of equal value, the Georgian and Lévisian estimates land on the same dollar. Across the Chaudière and the river, Ville de Québec slots an intermediate step in just before its top rate, softening the climb on the upper end of the capital's bylaw. Run the calculator across the three: the current Georgian single-family median sits entirely inside the provincial middle bracket, so the top municipal bracket only starts to shift the bill on higher-end west-side deals and properties along the Chaudière banks.

Municipal programs and provincial levers after closing

The City does not refund the transfer duty and does not run a municipal homeownership credit. Its financial-assistance and grants catalogue is post-move oriented instead, with a flat reimbursement for new parents who pick cloth diapers and a partial refund toward reusable feminine-hygiene products. Senior buyers whose annual account climbs because of the value increase recorded on the new roll should check eligibility for the provincial grant tied to a municipal-tax increase — the potential amount appears directly on the annual notice mailed in January. The supplementary duty set out in the Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables (CQLR, c. D-15.1) applies to any transfer covered by an exemption recognized under the provincial grid.

Schedule, payment channels and the provincial homebuyer credit

Once the transaction is published at the Quebec land register, the finance department mails the welcome-tax notice two to three months later, payable within thirty days of issuance. Accepted channels mirror those of the annual account: online bill payment through Canadian banks using the eleven-digit reference number beginning with 000 printed on the payment coupon, pre-authorized online payment, cheque by mail or via the city-hall drop-box, and cash or Interac debit at the third-floor perception counter; credit cards are not accepted. The annual municipal tax account itself runs on its own calendar, with four 2026 instalments due March 2, May 15, July 15 and September 15, as posted on the Taxation page; the balance and the transfer-duty invoice can be reviewed through the Voilà! portal. Your notary will also confirm eligibility for the provincial homebuyer tax credit, governed by the same Act on real-estate transfer duties.
