COVID-19: Which payment methods to use? To protect the population from COVID-19, the preferred method of payment is electronic payment, through your financial institution's website. The electronic payment reference number is on the account and payment slip. In exceptional situations where taxpayers do not have access to electronic payment, payment by check is possible. However, due to the general slowdown of all operations, the processing time may be longer. Please allow sufficient time for your payment to reach us.

The Town of Montreal West issues one annual property tax bill that covers all local services and spending (snow removal, road maintenance, parks, administration, etc.) as well as island-wide services offered by the Agglomeration of Montreal (such as public transit, Fire Department & SPVM). Residents’ tax assessments are based on the valuation of their property and are determined by multiplying this valuation by a mill rate (i.e. the rate determined by Council for each $100 valuation).

For example, the 2021 property taxes of a $728 000 residential property are $8,191.46.
(property value x mill rate / 100 = property taxes)

Consult the 2021 Tax by-law.
