An average increase of 51.8% for the Brome Lake housing stock
The year 2025 marks the coming into force of the new assessment roll for Brome Lake.
According to data provided by the independent firm of accredited appraisers Jean-Pierre Cadrin et associés, the value of the municipality’s real estate holdings will rise from $2.14 billion to $3.25 billion.
Although property assessment is the basis for calculating municipal taxes, an increase in property value does not automatically result in a higher tax bill. It is a combination of the tax rate, set when the municipal council adopts the budget in December, and the value of a property that will determine the amount.
