The short answer
In Lac-Brome, the city announces a 2026 tax bill of $4,185 for its reference property, up 2.5%. The residential general property tax rate is $0.43 per $100 of assessment ($0.42 in 2025).
The 2026 tax bill in Lac-Brome
$4,185: this is the 2026 tax bill published by the city. What the city means by it: 2026 property tax for a home with services (example) worth $772,200: property tax $3,320, water $235, sewer $380, waste collection $250 ($4,085 in 2025, +$100, +2.45%). Without services: $3,670 (+2.37%).
Increase announced by the city for 2026: +2.5%. Each city measures its increase its own way (with or without water, waste collection or special taxes): compare the bills, not just the percentages.
Average value of a home on the assessment roll, according to the city: $772,200. For reference, a house sold for $825,000 at the 2026 median on Centris (82 sales): the municipal assessment and the sale price are two different things.

Calculating the taxes on a house in Lac-Brome
The general property tax is calculated as: municipal assessment × rate ÷ 100. Example: a house assessed at $500,000 would pay $2,150 in general property tax at the 2026 rate of $0.43. This is a sample calculation, not the actual bill: add the fees (water, waste collection), special taxes and, where applicable, sector taxes. The actual bill for an address is on the city's online assessment roll and on the seller's latest tax bill: ask for it before making an offer.
The 2026-2027 school tax
The school tax is not set by the city. Since 2020-2021, the rate is the same everywhere in Quebec: $0.07899 per $100 of standardized assessment for 2026-2027 ($0.08423 in 2025-2026), and the first $25,000 of value is exempt. It is calculated on the standardized value, which can differ from the roll value. Example: for a standardized value of $772,200, the 2026-2027 school tax would be about $590.
Before buying in Lac-Brome
- Ask for the seller's latest tax bill and the roll assessment of the address: it is the only exact figure for your budget.
- Check the roll year. After a new roll, the assessment can jump: next year's bill will not be this year's.
- Count the sector fees (water, sewers, garbage, local improvement taxes): two houses of the same value in the same city can pay different amounts.
- Include taxes in the mortgage calculation. The lender includes them in your debt ratios: the welcome tax is paid once, property taxes every year.
