In Lévis, Quebec, municipal property tax bills combine your assessed property value with municipal and sector rates to produce an annual amount owing. This guide explains how to find your assessed value, apply Lévis municipal tax rates, use the city online portal to view your bill, and pay or contest a charge. Follow the steps below to calculate your estimated tax bill and find official contacts for questions or appeals.
How property tax is calculated
The basic calculation uses the taxable assessment multiplied by the municipal mill rate (expressed as dollars per $1,000 of assessed value), plus any sector, school or special levies and utility charges. To estimate a bill:
- Find the taxable assessment on your most recent notice or the municipal assessment roll.
- Multiply the taxable assessment by the municipal rate (or divide by 1,000 then multiply by the mill rate).
- Add any special municipal levies, local improvement charges, school taxes and utility fees.
- Subtract any credits or abatements applicable for the year.
Most municipalities, including Lévis, publish the current tax rates and the assessment roll or instructions to consult your notice; check your municipal online tax portal for the official rates and the current assessment figure.
