Island of Montreal

Neighbourhoods where Bruce buys houses

In shortBruce buys in thirty-one places on the Island of Montreal. Twelve are cities reconstituted on 1 January 2006, and nineteen are boroughs of Montreal. The buyer pays the transfer duties, on the scale of the municipality that bills that address.

These pages are about thirty-one places Bruce actually buys in, written as those places are, not as a single paragraph with the city name swapped. Twelve of them are independent cities reconstituted on 1 January 2006. Nineteen are boroughs of Montreal. The welcome-tax bill follows that line, and so does the housing.

Cities with their own hall

Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland, Pointe-Claire, Dorval, Beaconsfield, Westmount, the Town of Mount Royal, Côte-Saint-Luc, Hampstead, Baie-D’Urfé, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Montreal West left the merged city in 2006 and kept their own municipal bills inside the agglomeration. Dollard-des-Ormeaux is the subdivision city of bungalows and split-levels north of Highway 40, with a published 2026 scale that steps to 2.5% and then 3%. Kirkland is the quieter city of larger lots between Dollard-des-Ormeaux and the lakeshore. Pointe-Claire holds the windmill, Valois and the streets near Fairview, and it publishes 2.1% and 2.6% above $500,000. Dorval is split by the airport and the lake. Beaconsfield’s 2026 by-law puts 3% on the slice above $630,100. Westmount, on the western slopes of Mount Royal, puts 3% on everything above $500,000. The Town of Mount Royal, the 1912 garden city, steps from 2% to 2.5% and then 3% above $2,437,200. Côte-Saint-Luc, the bilingual city of 29 parks in the west end, applies 2.5% above $800,000 and 3% above $3,000,000. Hampstead, the 1914 garden-city town, charges 3% on every dollar above $552,300. Baie-D’Urfé and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, side by side at the western tip, both apply 2% above $500,000 and 2.5% above $1,000,000. Montreal West, the 1897 town between two rail lines, charges 2% above $500,000, 2.5% above $750,000 and 3% above $1,000,000. Each page has that city’s own table, not a shared one.

Boroughs on Montreal’s roll

Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Lachine, LaSalle and L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève stayed in Montreal. Pierrefonds is Gouin, Cap-Saint-Jacques and the bungalow crescents, with Roxboro at the station. Lachine is the canal, the numbered avenues, Saint-Pierre since 1999, and Summerlea toward Dorval. LaSalle is the rapids, the Fleming mill in the Highlands, and the mix of bungalows and duplexes around Newman and Dollard. L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève is the island across the Jacques-Bizard bridge and the heritage village along Gouin, mostly single-family houses. All four use Montreal’s 2026 brackets, including the steps above $552,300, and the comparative factor of 1.00. A friend quoting Pointe-Claire’s percentages for a Lachine plex is in the wrong city.

Central Montreal

Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Saint-Laurent, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Verdun/L’Île-des-Sœurs, Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, Le Sud-Ouest, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Ville-Marie, Outremont, Montréal-Nord, Saint-Léonard, Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles and Anjou are boroughs of Montreal as well, so the welcome-tax bill is Montreal’s. Ahuntsic-Cartierville is houses and plexes along the Rivière des Prairies, from Sault-au-Récollet to Cartierville. Saint-Laurent is the large borough of post-war houses and Bois-Franc. NDG and Côte-des-Neiges share one borough, from Monkland and Sherbrooke to the Oratory. Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is plex streets, from Plaza Saint-Hubert and the Jean-Talon Market to Promenade Masson. Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is plexes with outdoor stairs, from the Mile End and Milton-Parc to Le Petit Laurier, plus cottages and condos. Verdun/L’Île-des-Sœurs takes in condos on the island and duplexes around Wellington. Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension is duplexes and triplexes, from Villeray and Parc-Extension to Saint-Michel. Le Sud-Ouest takes in Saint-Henri, Pointe-Saint-Charles and Griffintown: condos, plexes and houses. Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is plexes and houses from Hochelaga-Maisonneuve to Mercier. Ville-Marie is downtown, mostly condos, with a few houses and plexes. Outremont is single-family houses and condos near Mount Royal, from Bernard and Laurier to Van Horne. Montréal-Nord runs along the Rivière des Prairies, and duplexes and triplexes are its largest category of sales. Saint-Léonard grew from an 1886 village into plex streets and family houses on either side of Jean-Talon Street East. Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles fills the eastern tip of the island between the Rivière des Prairies and the St. Lawrence, mostly single-family houses and condos. Anjou, at the crossing of Highways 40 and 25, mixes condos, plexes and houses around the Galeries d’Anjou. Each of those pages uses that borough’s Centris figures for the third quarter of 2026. None of them has its own duty table.

What every page is for

Each one says what a direct sale does there: no inspection, no commission, a date you choose, and the contents can stay. Each one says who pays the transfer duties (the buyer) and what the notary still has to do. None of them invents a sale price, a review, or a count of houses. If your situation matters more than the street — a succession, a separation, a hypothec in arrears — the situation pages are the other door.

Seller questions

This is general information about how a sale usually works in Quebec. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a promise about your price or your date. A notary — and, if your file needs it, a lawyer or a licensed insolvency trustee — applies the rules to your situation. Sending an address does not commit you to sell.
