The taxable base is the highest of the price paid, the consideration stated in the deed, or the assessment roll value multiplied by the 1.03 comparative factor for 2026. In Laval that factor above 1 can push the base above the price paid — a common surprise at the notary.
How it compares with Montreal
On a $600,000 purchase, Laval charges $8,611 — $1,262 more than Montreal. The municipal rate rises above the provincial scale from $500,000 up. On top of that sits the 1.03 comparative factor: a $600,000 assessment lifts the base to $618,000. No other municipality in the area applies exactly these brackets.
