What kind of city is Westmount?

The City of Westmount describes itself as a primarily residential community of 4.02 km² on the western slopes of Mount Royal, with an urban forest, parks, and about 11,000 City trees. It was incorporated in 1874 as the Village de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, became the Town of Westmount in 1895 and the City of Westmount in 1908. The Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation counted 20,350 residents as of December 2024. Westmount is one of the reconstituted municipalities on the Island of Montreal, so the municipal tax bill and the transfer duties come from Westmount’s city hall, not from a Montreal borough office.

How much is the welcome tax on a Westmount house?

Westmount’s 2026 by-law sets 0.5% on the first $62,900, 1% up to $315,000, 1.5% up to $500,000 and 3% on everything above $500,000. That is not Montreal’s scale, which keeps climbing in steps up to 4%. The base is the highest of the price paid, the price stated in the deed and the roll value times the comparative factor, which the City sets at 1 for 2026. At the Q3 2026 single-family median of $2,525,000, the duties come to about $66,361. At the four-quarter condo median of $950,481, about $19,125. The buyer pays this bill in one instalment, but it shapes what any buyer can offer.
