In Québec, Quebec, municipal utility connection fees cover hooking properties to water, sewer and other city services. This guide explains how to pay connection fees online, get and keep digital receipts, where to find the official rules, and how to contest or appeal charges under municipal bylaws.

Keep digital receipts and invoice numbers for at least two years.

Paying online and getting receipts

Most payments for municipal services in the City of Québec can be made through the city27s online payment portal; use your invoice or account number to pay and download an immediate PDF receipt for your records. City online payments page[1]

  • Log in or pay as a guest using the invoice number.
  • Confirm service description lists "raccordement" or "connection" before paying.
  • Save or print the PDF receipt immediately; the receipt is proof of payment for municipal filings.

Penalties & Enforcement

Official municipal bylaws govern required connections, permit conditions and payment of fees; specific fine amounts for unpaid or improper connections are not specified on the cited page and must be confirmed in the applicable bylaw or tariff schedule. See the city27s regulations and fee schedules for details on sanctions and tariff tables. City regulations and bylaws[2]

  • Fine amounts: not specified on the cited page; consult the controlling bylaw or tariff schedule.
  • Escalation: first, repeat and continuing offence ranges are not specified on the cited page.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: orders to disconnect, remedial work orders, and court action are commonly listed in enforcement provisions.
  • Enforcer: municipal By-law Enforcement or the Service des infrastructures generally administers compliance; see Help and Support for contacts.
  • Appeals and review: appeal routes and time limits depend on the specific bylaw or administrative decision; time limits are not specified on the cited page.
Check the specific bylaw or tariff schedule before assuming penalty amounts.

Applications & Forms

Forms and application names vary by service (water, sewer, road restoration). The cited municipal regulation index does not list a single, consolidated application form on that page; consult the city27s permits and inspections pages or contact the infrastructure service for the exact form name and submission method.

  • If a dedicated "demande de raccordement" form exists, it will be available from the City27s permits or infrastructure pages.
  • Fees: specific connection fee amounts are presented in tariff schedules; if an amount is not visible on the cited regulation page, it is "not specified on the cited page".
  • Submission: typically online via the payment portal or in person at a municipal office; check the relevant form instructions.
If you cannot find a form online, contact the City27s infrastructure or permits office directly.
