Valuation Roll
The valuation roll represents the inventory of all properties on the island of Montreal, indicating the quantity, the characteristics and the value of each property.
The valuation roll covers all residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural properties. As the assessment of properties within the City of Westmount is the responsibility of the agglomeration of Montreal, the valuation roll is prepared by the Direction de l’évaluation foncière de la Ville de Montréal.
The Service de l'évaluation foncière de la Ville de Montréal has published a document that presents the highlights of the triennial assessment rolls for the Agglomeration of Montreal 2023-2024-2025.
Consult the Valuation Roll
You may consult the 2023-2024-2025 City of Westmount Valuation Roll using the Immonet service.
The “Professionals” link above is designed specifically for the use of notaries, hypothecary creditors, financial institutions and other accredited professionals. Real estate agents are invited to use the public access. Properties can be found by searching by address, property registration number or cadastral number. There is a nominal charge for the use of the “Professionals” services.
The designation of the building, the cadastral number and the assessed value of the property, as well as the property dimensions, are available through this service. Please note that personal information regarding the identity of the owner is not published. The global amount for annual property taxes is also available to both professionals and the general public.
As the valuation roll is prepared by the Direction de l’évaluation foncière de la Ville de Montréal, you may also consult the Westmount property assessment roll for the years 2023-2024-2025 on the Ville de Montréal website.
Requesting a Review of the Municipal Assessment Roll
Ville de Montréal processes applications for review of the assessment roll of all buildings on the island of Montreal (Montreal agglomeration), including Westmount.
Duration of the Valuation Roll
The current valuation role, in effect from January 1, 2023, is valid for 2023, 2024 and 2025. It is the basis for property tax bills for these three years.
Changes to a Property
Some renovations or improvements will not necessarily increase the value of a property by an amount equal to their cost.
For example: Spending $10,000 to renovate a basement will not automatically result in a $10,000 increase in the value of the property.
Regular maintenance work such as replacing the roof, repaving the driveway, applying a few coats of paint or changing a carpet does not increase the value of a property.
Proven Approaches to a Fair Assessment
The assessor uses three approaches: comparison, cost and income.
The Comparison Approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by comparing it to similar properties that have been sold.
The Cost Approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by adding a property’s land value to the depreciated cost of the building. This cost is obtained by subtracting depreciation from the current replacement cost, which includes labour and materials.
The Income Approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by capitalizing its net operating income at a rate stemming from similar type properties that have been sold.
