The municipal tax bills for the year 2023 have been issued. If you have not received your municipal tax bill by mid-April, please contact the taxation department at 450-827-2538.
- Please note that not receiving your municipal tax bill does not exempt you from the obligation to pay your taxes by the deadlines set by the Municipality.
- Municipal tax bills are payable in three (3) instalments when the total amount of property taxes is $300 or more.
Due Dates
Payments must be made on the following dates:
- 1st instalment: payable no later than March 22, 2023.
- 2nd instalment: payable no later than June 21, 2023.
- 3rd instalment: payable no later than September 21, 2023.
For a tax bill with a total amount of less than $300, it is payable in one (1) instalment and is due no later than March 22, 2023.
However, taxpayers can pay in a single instalment in all cases.
Payment Methods
You can pay your tax bill using the following methods:
- by mail: 1670 Route 202, Franklin, QC, J0S 1E0
- at the City Hall counter: cash or cheque
- at your financial institution: cash, cheque, debit card, or ATM card. The detachable payment stub must be included with your payment.

to ensure that the payment is applied to the correct account, it is essential to use the payment stub’s roll number as a reference. The roll number is in the format 0000-00-0000-000-0000-00. All digits are important, including zeros. When searching for the Municipality, you must enter “Municipalité Franklin” (without the “de”) in the designated field to select the provider.
Please note: Cheques must be made payable to the Municipality of Franklin.
Late Payment
In case of late payment, an interest rate of 12% and a penalty rate of 5%, set by the municipal council, apply to the overdue portion only. Any amount owed to the Municipality of Franklin is subject to interest and penalties until fully paid.
By-Laws
New Property Owners
It is possible that the property tax bill for your property was sent to the previous owner. However, this does not exempt you from the obligation to pay your taxes according to the deadlines set by the Municipality of Franklin. It is important to note that the Municipality does not issue a new tax bill when there is a change of ownership; only one bill is issued annually.
If you are a new property owner, it is your responsibility to obtain your tax bill. If you haven’t received your bill, you can contact the Taxation Department to obtain information about your tax account.
Change of Address
It is important to notify us of any change in the postal address where your tax bill is sent as soon as possible. You can do this by phone, mail, or email to the following address: info@municipalitedefranklin.ca, and please mention your account number as a reference.
Municipal Assessment
Assessment Roll
The assessment service updates the necessary information to ensure that your property has a fair assessment and that the collected data correctly routes the annual tax bill.
You can consult the current property assessment roll for various properties in our territory. This data is available free of charge to the general public.
