Pillars of Our Community: A Saint-Jovite native and resident of 50 years is facing an increase of nearly 20%. For her and many others, “tax exodus” is no longer just a fear—it is an imminent threat.
Collective Legal Action: Legal professionals are already exploring the possibility of a class action lawsuit against the MRC and the Ville to challenge a system deemed unfair.
Properties Without Services: One citizen is reporting a 63% increase in their assessment for land with no access to municipal water or sewer lines.
Unbuildable Land: A plot purchased for $175,000 in 2022 (with 75% unusable surface area) was revalued at $679,000—an absurd increase of 277%.
Inequity Between Neighbors: On the same street, some residents are seeing their tax bills decrease, while a neighbor faces a 15% hike (five times the average) due to a 62% spike in their valuation.
Barriers to Contestation: Many citizens find the review process complex and discouraging, viewing it as a financial barrier that prevents them from exercising their rights.
These testimonies are not isolated cases. They reflect a community deeply concerned about its residential future. Implementing a 5% cap (Art. 253.36 LFM) is the only safeguard to prevent Mont-Tremblant from becoming inaccessible to those who built it.
