When and who to pay?

The welcome tax is paid only once, to the Cidade de Terrebonne. 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.

Sitio histórico de la Île-des-Moulins

Historic site

In the heart of Vieux-Terrebonne, the island brings together the manor office, the former bakery and several mills from a major pre-industrial complex of the 19th century, designated a historic site in 1973. Exhibitions, guided tours and outdoor shows make it a lively place, especially in summer.

“I think the Île-des-Moulins explains Vieux-Terrebonne well: when you visit it, you understand why this area has a heritage charm you won't find in the more recent neighbourhoods.”

How much is the welcome tax in Terrebonne for a $600,000 property?

For a purchase price of $600,000, the welcome tax in Terrebonne is approximately $8,611 according to the 2026 schedule. That is $1,500 more than with the basic provincial schedule. The exact amount also depends on the municipal assessment, if it is higher than the price paid.

Am I entitled to a welcome tax refund in Terrebonne?

Yes, if you are buying your first home in Quebec. For a first home purchased starting in 2026, Quebec refunds 100% of the first $5,000 in duties paid, plus 25% of the next $3,500, up to $5,875. The credit decreases for a property worth more than $750,000 and disappears at $1M. It is claimed on your income tax return.

Does Terrebonne apply a higher rate than the provincial schedule?

Yes. In addition to the provincial scale (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%), Terrebonne applies 3% on the portion above $500,000.

What amount is the welcome tax calculated on?

On the higher of two amounts: the price paid, or the municipal assessment multiplied by the year's comparative factor. In a market where prices are rising, it is almost always the price paid.

When is the welcome tax due?

Only once, to the Ville de Terrebonne. The bill arrives a few weeks after the deed of sale is registered with the notary, and it generally must be paid within 30 days. Include this amount in your budget from the offer to purchase.
