How to read it: on a single-family house at $760,000 (West Island North median, QPAREB Q2 2026), the welcome tax is $12,160.50; an eligible first-time buyer gets $5,640 back and pays $6,520.50 net. Dollard-des-Ormeaux's municipal increase accounts for $2,650 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, Dollard-des-Ormeaux's comparative factor is 1.0: a property assessed at $500,000 on the roll has a presumed market value of $500,000, 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 Dollard-des-Ormeaux, the transfer duty is payable in one instalment within thirty days of the bill being sent by the City. A $200 supplementary duty applies to every exempt transfer, except transactions under $5,000 and transfers to a charity. The grid in force since January 1, 2026 and the 1.00 comparative factor are published on ville.ddo.qc.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 Dollard-des-Ormeaux'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 $418,500 condo, the tax of $4,388 is refunded in full. On a $620,000 bungalow, the tax of $8,610.50 is refunded at $5,875: $2,735.50 remains. On the house at the $760,000 median, the credit is reduced to $5,640 (credit reduced by 2.35% of the amount above $750,000) and $6,520.50 remains. 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. Dollard-des-Ormeaux 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.
Dollard-des-Ormeaux is more expensive than Kirkland (2% then 2.5%) and Pointe-Claire (2.1%) at every price above $500,000: $1,350 more than Kirkland on the median house. It stays below Westmount, which bills 3% from $500,000, and matches Dorval above $750,000.
