West Island single-family homes increased in value ranging from 10 per cent in Senneville to 27 per cent for the seasonal cottages on Dorval Island, according to the new three-year property valuation roll released by the Montreal agglomeration yesterday.
In the West Island, Senneville recorded the highest valued average single-family home at $906,500, with Baie d’Urfé coming in second at $650,700.
Dorval Island, with its 57 cottages, has the lowest valued average single-family home in the area at $244,700.
These new valuations of residential and non-residential properties will be used to calculate municipal and school taxes for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Actual tax bills will be set using these valuations based on mill rates set by respective municipal and public school authorities. Residents of reconstituted municipalities pay one civic tax bill, which includes the portion destined for the agglomeration to pay for regional costs. School tax bills are issued separately from municipal taxes.
Top of the tax roll
Two of the 10 highest valued non-residential properties in Montreal are located in the West Island. Aeroports de Montreal, the agency which runs Pierre E. Trudeau airport in Dorval, has the No. 1 ranked property with an assessment at just over $1.8 billion. In ninth spot is the Fairview Pointe Claire shopping centre at $456 million.
Agglo up about 20 per cent
The total assessed value of the 483,373 properties across the Montreal agglomeration is about $297 billion, representing an increase of about 19.5 per cent in property value across the island when compared with the previous roll.
