City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux
Sell my house fast in Dollard-des-Ormeaux
In shortA house in Dollard-des-Ormeaux can be sold as it stands, with no inspection and no commission, on a date you choose. The city publishes its own 2026 transfer-duty scale. The buyer pays it.
Dollard-des-Ormeaux is its own city again. It was reconstituted on 1 January 2006 and it still sits inside the urban agglomeration of Montreal, which is why the streets feel continuous with Pierrefonds while the tax bill does not. A search for “sell my house fast in Dollard-des-Ormeaux” usually means a bungalow or a split-level on a crescent north of Highway 40, not a canal plex and not a lakeshore cottage. Bruce buys that house directly, as it stands.
The city the subdivisions built
Dollard-des-Ormeaux was laid out in the years when the north half of the West Island stopped being farms. The tracts from about 1955 to 1975 are still the city’s fabric: brick bungalows, raised bungalows and split-levels of a similar size, on lots with mature trees, with two-storey houses and some townhouse pockets added later. Boulevard Saint-Jean and boulevard des Sources are the north-south spines people use to explain a street. Boulevard de Salaberry crosses east-west. Brunswick is the southern edge, toward the highway and toward Kirkland. If you live “off Sources” or “near Saint-Jean,” that is already a different pocket from a street backing onto the woods.
Centennial Park is the green heart the city actually describes: 48 hectares, wooded, used for walking in every season, and mainly meant for residents. It is not the Centennial Park in Beaconsfield. The city’s own court schedule also names Sunnybrooke Park and Westminster Park. Those are local rooms in a low-rise city, not a downtown grid. A direct sale here is usually someone who has outgrown the house, inherited it, or lined up a move and does not want six weeks of showings on a crescent where the neighbours know the car.
Dollard-des-Ormeaux sets its own welcome tax
Because the city was reconstituted, transfer duties are charged by Dollard-des-Ormeaux, under the Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables. For a transfer from 1 January 2026 the city’s published scale is 0.5% up to $62,900, 1% up to $315,000, 1.5% up to $500,000, 2.5% from there to $750,000, and 3% above $750,000. That 2.5% and 3% are local rates on the part of the base over $500,000. They are not Montreal’s scale, and they are not Kirkland’s. The base is the highest of the price paid, the price written in the deed, and the market value at transfer. Market value here is the assessment times the comparative factor. The city publishes 1.00 for 2026 and 1.08 for 2025. The buyer pays. The city asks for a single payment within 30 days after it sends the bill.
The city also describes a supplementary duty of $200 under section 20.1 of the Act for certain transfers that are exempt from the ordinary duty. It does not apply to transfers under $5,000 or to certain transfers to a charity. An ordinary sale pays the bracketed duty, not that $200. The notary marks the right category in the deed. Do not add $200 in your head “just in case” unless the notary says the transfer is one of the exempt ones.
What you do, and what you skip
The path is short on purpose. You send the address from the form on the home page. Bruce talks with you about the house and the date. There is no inspection and no commission, because you are dealing with the buyer. You can leave furniture and the contents of the garage. The deed is still a notarial deed: title search, adjustments for municipal and school taxes, payout of a hypothec if the price covers it, and publication at the land register. This page does not promise the price will cover the hypothec. If it does not, the lender has to be part of the closing, and the notary is who lines that up.
People here often want the date more than they want a staging plan. A job outside Montreal, a parent moving into a residence, a household that has already bought elsewhere: the useful thing is a day you can actually be gone. Bruce’s offer starts from that day. It is not a promise that a particular Friday will work if a lender or a notary’s calendar says otherwise. It is a refusal of the usual sequence, where the house has to be emptied and shown before anyone will name a date.

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.
