Pointe-Claire is the office anchor for the West Island
TaxCove’s listed office is at 93 Av. de Lucerne, Suite 8, in Pointe-Claire. The facts below concern that municipality or a named island institution; they do not imply offices or uniform taxes throughout the West Island.
Pointe-Claire’s own 2026 transfer schedule
- The City’s 2026 factor is 1.00. Its duty rates are 0.5% to $62,900, 1% to $315,000, 1.5% to $500,000, 2.1% to $1 million and 2.6% above $1 million.
- Keep the valuation and closing documents: the tax base can differ from the amount paid. This is Pointe-Claire’s schedule, not the City of Montréal’s.
Official sources
Municipal and school payment evidence
- Pointe-Claire’s ordinary municipal instalment dates for 2026 were February 26 and May 25. The online account is useful when assembling the building’s yearly documents.
- The CGTSIM issues the separate Montréal Island school-tax account after July 1. It states that payments are not accepted in person at its offices; follow the payment instructions on the bill.
Students and administrative questions
- John Abbott College directs students to My Omnivox Services, Tax Receipt, for tuition tax receipts. Ask the student to retrieve their own document rather than treating a parent’s payment record as the tax slip.
- For public administrative assistance, the Services Québec directory identifies services and offices. TaxCove’s private intake remains a separate process.
Independent public resources
