Property taxes · Saint-Jérôme · 2026
How much are the taxes on a house in Saint-Jérôme in 2026? The average bill, increase and rate published by the city in its budget, what the assessment roll changes, and the 2026-2027 school tax. Official figures, sources cited.
In Saint-Jérôme, the city announces a 3% increase in the residential tax bill for 2026, without publishing an average bill in dollars. The residential general property tax rate is $0.445 per $100 of assessment ($0.551 in 2025). 2026 is the first year of a new assessment roll: values went up, the rate was adjusted, and it is the bill, not the rate, that tells you what you pay.

The short answer
In Saint-Jérôme, the city announces a 3% increase in the residential tax bill for 2026, without publishing an average bill in dollars. The residential general property tax rate is $0.445 per $100 of assessment ($0.551 in 2025). 2026 is the first year of a new assessment roll: values went up, the rate was adjusted, and it is the bill, not the rate, that tells you what you pay.
The 2026 tax bill in Saint-Jérôme
Increase announced by the city for 2026: +3%. Each city measures its increase its own way (with or without water, waste collection or special taxes): compare the bills, not just the percentages.
For reference, a house sold for $547,500 at the 2026 median on Centris (498 sales). The municipal assessment, used to calculate taxes, often differs from the sale price.
The property tax rate in Saint-Jérôme
| Rate per $100 of assessment | 2026 | 2025 | Rate change |
|---|---|---|---|
| General property tax, base residential rate | $0.445 | $0.551 | -19.2% |
Other rates: In addition, a special debt tax applies to the whole territory, residual category: $0.100 per $100 in 2026 ($0.129 in 2025). Buildings with 6 or more dwellings: $0.580 ($0.678 in 2025) plus debt $0.130. Serviced areas: water supply debt $0.024 and sewer debt $0.003 per $100.
Fixed fees: Per dwelling, 2026 (unchanged since 2025): water $170, wastewater treatment $72, waste collection $180; pool served by the water supply $55; septic tank emptying $92 per isolated residence.
Careful with the lower rate. The rate drops 19.2% because the new roll raised assessments: the city adjusts the rate to collect its revenue. A lower rate after a new roll is not a tax cut.

Calculating the taxes on a house in Saint-Jérôme
The general property tax is calculated as: municipal assessment × rate ÷ 100. Example: a house assessed at $500,000 would pay $2,225 in general property tax at the 2026 rate of $0.445. 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 $500,000, the 2026-2027 school tax would be about $375.
Before buying in Saint-Jérôme
- 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.
