When and who to pay?

The welcome tax is paid only once, to the Cidade de Notre-Dame-des-Prairies. The bill arrives a few weeks after the deed of sale is registered. Include this amount in your budget, along with the down payment and the notary's fees. If the municipal assessment (multiplied by the comparative factor) is higher than the price paid, that amount is used for the calculation.
