What is school tax
School tax is a Quebec property tax that is levied on building owners to finance the public education system. It is administered by the public school authority serving the territory where the property is located. This will be either a French-language School Service Centre (CSS) or an English-language school board. Whether you have children or not, if you own a property in Quebec, you will have to pay school tax.
How to calculate school tax
To calculate your school tax, you need to know three things:
- Your assessed value of the property
- The applicable school tax rate for the year
Once you have these inputs, you are able to calcuate the school tax as:
School tax = (Assessed value – $25,000) × (School tax rate / 100 )
Example calculation
Let’s say that you have a property in Montreal with an assessed value of $439,000. The school tax due on this property is:
(439,000 – 25,000) × (0.08423 / 100) = $348.71
Usually the municipality where you live will send you a bill once per year for your school tax.
Where to find your assessed value
The municipality where you live calculates the assessed value of your property and posts the result on their property assessment rolls. Below are the links to the assessment rolls for several Quebec municipalities:
