How much should you budget for taxes on a Brossard house or condo? Start with the property’s tax bill: it gives you the amounts and deadlines. Here is where to find it, the 2026 due dates and a simple way to include these costs in your budget.

- Budget for school taxes and closing costs in addition to municipal taxes.
Where can you find your Brossard tax bill?
Registered owners can view their municipal bills and balance on Voilà! If you are considering a purchase, ask the seller for the current year’s tax bill and water bill. The amounts for that address will help you prepare your budget.
When are taxes due in 2026?
The City publishes the following deadlines for 2026. Your bill shows the amount of each instalment.
| Bill or instalment | Due date |
|---|---|
| Property taxes — first instalment | February 11, 2026 |
| Property taxes — second instalment | April 13, 2026 |
| Property taxes — third instalment | June 12, 2026 |
| Property taxes — fourth instalment | August 11, 2026 |
| Water charges | October 15, 2026 |
What affects your bill?
Your bill includes taxes calculated on the taxable value and applicable service charges. The number of dwellings and certain sector-specific taxes can also affect the total. Water charges depend in part on consumption, while school taxes are billed separately.
Two properties with the same selling price can therefore have different annual expenses. When comparing a house and a condo, also consider condominium fees and what they cover.
A monthly budgeting example
In this hypothetical example, the three bills total $5,880 a year. Setting aside $490 each month builds the corresponding reserve.
| Expense | Per year | Monthly reserve |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal taxes | $4,800 | $400 |
| School taxes | $600 | $50 |
| Water charges | $480 | $40 |
| Total | $5,880 | $490 |
These amounts are neither an average nor an estimate for your property. A monthly reserve does not change the City’s payment deadlines.
Does your municipal assessment seem too high?
Brossard handles the tax bill; the Longueuil agglomeration handles the assessment roll. If you want to understand your assessment or the review process, our guide explains where to find the roll and what to look at.
Budget for land transfer tax and adjustments
Land transfer tax is billed after acquisition under the applicable rules. The notary also makes adjustments so taxes, charges or other prepaid amounts are allocated between seller and buyer as of the agreed date.
These amounts should not be confused with the down payment or notary fees. A written estimate before purchasing reduces the risk of a cash shortfall after closing.
Calculate the full monthly cost
Add taxes, insurance, energy, maintenance, condominium fees where applicable and a repair reserve to financing costs. For an older house, roofing, windows, drainage, plumbing and electrical work can matter more than a few hundred dollars in annual tax differences.
Before committing, gather the bills for the property and check whether your lender will already collect money for taxes with your mortgage payments. This helps you avoid counting the same expense twice.
