Welcome Tax
You will need to pay tax after buying a home in Quebec. Commonly known as the Welcome Tax, Québec’s property transfer duty is governed by the Act respecting duties on transfers of immovables. The legislation dates back to 1976, while all Québec municipalities have been required to collect property transfer duties since 1992. This tax requires the new property owner to pay a percentage of the property’s tax base to the municipality. The tax base is the highest of the price paid for the property, the price stated in the deed of transfer, or the property’s market value at the time of transfer. The market value is generally determined by multiplying the value on the municipal assessment roll by the applicable comparative factor. The municipality will send you a property transfer duty bill after the transfer. The time required to receive the bill varies by municipality. The property transfer duty must be paid before the 31st day following the date the municipality sends the bill, unless the municipality allows payment in instalments.
Property transfer duty rates can vary by municipality for portions of the tax base above $500,000. Municipalities may establish higher rates for these amounts, generally up to 3%. Montréal is permitted to set rates above 3% and applies additional higher-value tax brackets.

Refundable Tax Credit for Access to Homeownership
Beginning with qualifying homes acquired after December 31, 2025, Québec offers a refundable tax credit that can reimburse eligible home buyers for a portion of the property transfer duties they paid.
The credit can provide up to $5,875, calculated as:
- 100% of the first $5,000 paid in property transfer duties
- 25% of the next $3,500 paid, providing up to an additional $875
The credit is generally available to qualifying first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence in Québec. It may also apply in certain situations involving a person with a severe disability.
The credit begins to decrease when the property transfer duty tax base exceeds $750,000 and is reduced to $0 when the tax base reaches $1 million.

Exonération du Paiement (Exemptions)
Certain property transfers may be exempt from Québec property transfer duties. Common exemptions include:
- The tax base is less than $5,000
- Certain transfers between spouses or qualifying former common-law partners
- Certain transfers between direct-line family members, such as parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren
- Certain transfers involving corporations or partnerships and their owners when the applicable requirements are met
- Certain transfers involving registered agricultural operations
- Transfers of property by succession to an individual
- Certain transfers between undivided co-owners
Other exemptions may apply depending on the circumstances. The wording “between family members” should not be used because not every transfer between relatives qualifies. The $5,000 exemption also refers to the tax base, not the building value.
Other exemptions also exist. When a transfer is exempt from property transfer duty, a municipality may require payment of a supplementary duty as compensation. The supplementary duty cannot exceed $200.
