Welcome tax · Brossard · 2026 grid verified at the source
Brossard bills 3% above $500,000 and its houses sell at an $803,000 median: the welcome tax exceeds $13,000. Here is the 2026 grid, the examples, the bill and what a first-time buyer gets back.
In Brossard, the 2026 welcome tax follows the provincial grid up to $500,000 (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%) then applies 3% to the entire portion above, the maximum the law allows. On a single-family house at $803,000 (Brossard-Saint-Lambert median, QPAREB Q2 2026), it comes to $14,700.50; an eligible first-time buyer gets $4,629.50 back from Revenu Québec and pays $10,071 net. On a $404,000 condo, it is $4,170.50, fully refunded. The base is the highest of the price paid, the consideration in the deed and the roll value times the 1.04 comparative factor in 2026; the bill is payable within 30 days. A house at the median pays $1,951.50 more than in Longueuil, where the increase only starts at $630,100.
Brossard applies the maximum 3% rate to the portion above $500,000, with a 1.04 comparative factor for 2026. In a city where the median house sells for $803,000 and sectors L, P and S exceed a million, the 3% bracket is the rule, not the exception: on the median house it represents $9,090 of the $14,700.50 tax. Condos, by contrast, almost all stay under the threshold.
| Bracket of the tax base (2026) | Rate in Brossard |
|---|---|
| $0 to $62,900 | 0.5% |
| $62,900 to $315,000 | 1% |
| $315,000 to $500,000 | 1.5% |
| Above $500,000 | 3% |
The thresholds are indexed every January 1 (the indexation is published in the Gazette officielle before July 1); the amounts above are the 2026 figures. Source: brossard.ca, transfer duties (2026 grid, factor 1.04).
The examples cover the condo at the median ($404,000), the $500,000 threshold, a bungalow in sectors A to C, the house at the median ($803,000), a cottage in sectors M to R and a home in sectors L, P or S.
| Price paid (or adjusted roll value) | Welcome tax | First-time buyer credit | Net cost, first-time buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| $404,000 | $4,170.50 | $4,170.50 | $0 |
| $500,000 | $5,610.50 | $5,152.62 | $457.88 |
| $650,000 | $10,110.50 | $5,875 | $4,235.50 |
| $803,000 | $14,700.50 | $4,629.50 | $10,071 |
| $950,000 | $19,110.50 | $1,175 | $17,935.50 |

How to read it: on a single-family house at $803,000 (Brossard-Saint-Lambert median, QPAREB Q2 2026), the welcome tax is $14,700.50; an eligible first-time buyer gets $4,629.50 back and pays $10,071 net. Brossard's municipal increase accounts for $4,545 of that amount, compared with a municipality that applies the basic grid. Our French welcome tax calculator runs the same calculation for any price.
The tax base is the highest of three amounts: the price paid, the consideration stated in the deed, and the value on the assessment roll multiplied by the year's comparative factor. In a rising market the price paid almost always exceeds the adjusted roll value, so the price is the base; in a sale between relatives or on a property bought below assessment, the adjusted roll value takes over and the bill can surprise. For 2026, Brossard's comparative factor is 1.04: a property assessed at $500,000 on the roll has a presumed market value of $520,000, and that figure becomes the base if the price paid is lower. The notary records the tax base in the deed of sale and the municipality bills from the registration in the Land Register.
In Brossard, transfer duties are payable within 30 days of the date the bill is sent, in one instalment. For an exempt buyer, the City collects a supplementary duty of 0.5% between $5,000 and $40,000 of base and $200 above $40,000, except when the transfer follows the death of the transferor. The City publishes an online calculator on brossard.ca. The bill is never handed over at the notary's office: it arrives by mail, or in the online tax account, generally a few weeks to two months after signing. Budget for it before the offer to purchase, alongside notary fees and the inspection, because no lender finances it inside the mortgage.
Since January 1, 2026, Quebec's refundable tax credit for home ownership reimburses first-time buyers 100% of the first $5,000 of transfer duties paid and 25% of the next $3,500, up to $5,875, on a first principal residence. The credit is reduced by 2.35% of the portion of the tax base above $750,000 and reaches zero at $1,000,000 (Finances Québec, Information Bulletin 2026-2). A first-time buyer is someone who did not live in a home owned by themselves or their spouse in the year of purchase or the four previous years. The buyer first pays Brossard's bill, then claims the credit on their income tax return, or as an advance payment from October 2026 when the amount exceeds $1,000. On a $404,000 condo, the tax of $4,170.50 is refunded in full. On the house at the $803,000 median, the tax of $14,700.50 is refunded at $4,629.50 (credit reduced by 2.35% of the amount above $750,000): $10,071 remains, of which $4,545 comes from the municipal increase. The credit covers the basic grid, not the increase. The details, including couples where only one spouse has owned before, are in our guide to the welcome tax refund.
The exemptions come from provincial law and are the same in every city: a transfer in the direct ascending or descending line (parent to child, grandparent to grandchild, never between siblings), a transfer between spouses who are married, in a civil union or de facto after twelve months of living together (or parents of the same child), a tax base under $5,000, and a transfer to a corporation in which the seller holds at least 90% of the shares. The notary cites the exemption section in the deed. Brossard then collects a supplementary duty of at most $200, except when the transfer follows a death. Our French article on welcome tax exemptions goes into detail.
Brossard and Laval have the same grid. Longueuil, across Taschereau Boulevard, only increases above $630,100: on an $803,000 house, the gap is $1,951.50 in Longueuil's favour. Montreal, with its 2% bracket up to $1,104,700, costs $3,291.50 less than Brossard on the same house.
| City (2026 grid) | On $650,000 | On $803,000 | On $1,200,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brossard | $10,110.50 | $14,700.50 | $26,610.50 |
| Longueuil | $8,159 | $12,749 | $24,659 |
| Montreal | $8,349 | $11,409 | $19,825.50 |
| Laval | $10,110.50 | $14,700.50 | $26,610.50 |
| Basic provincial grid (no municipal increase) | $7,860.50 | $10,155.50 | $16,110.50 |
Brossard belongs to the Longueuil agglomeration for the assessment roll (2025-2027 roll, reference value at July 1, 2023) but adopts its own transfer duty by-law, different from Longueuil's. With a 1.04 comparative factor, a house assessed at $700,000 has a presumed base of $728,000: if you buy it for $710,000, the tax is calculated on $728,000. In a market where houses often sell above assessment this case is rare, but it happens on sales between relatives and on properties that need work.

$14,700.50 with Brossard's 2026 grid, if the price paid is the tax base. An eligible first-time buyer gets $4,629.50 back from Revenu Québec and pays $10,071 net.

Above $500,000, yes: Brossard applies the legal maximum of 3%, like Laval, whereas Longueuil only increases above $630,100 and Montreal applies 2% up to $1,104,700. Since Brossard's median house exceeds $800,000, the increase hits most house buyers.
Yes, the grid is the same for a house, a condo, a plex or a lot, and the price used as the base includes sales taxes on a new build. Since 2026 the GST is eliminated up to $1,000,000 on a new home for a first-time buyer, which lowers the price paid and therefore the welcome tax base.
