Revenue model

1. Property Tax Revenue: The primary revenue source for the municipality is property taxation. The city collects property taxes based on assessed property values to fund municipal services and operations. The 2026 budget was adopted with an average increase largely below CPI.
2. Provincial Government Transfers: Funding from the Government of Quebec for various programs including affordable housing (Programme d'habitation abordable Québec - PHAQ) administered by Société d'habitation du Québec, and other provincial initiatives.
3. Recreation and Cultural Service Fees: Fees charged for recreational activities including day camp (camp de jour), facility rentals, and leisure programming. These services are primarily subsidized through property taxes but generate some revenue through user fees.
4. Fines and Penalties: Revenue from municipal court fines, parking tickets, and various administrative penalties including late registration fees for programs.
