Eligibility
- The applicant must be the owner of a property located on a serviced lot (connected to the City’s waterworks and sanitary sewer network) within the program’s designated zones in Trois-Rivières.
- The project must involve one of the following completed works that increase the property’s taxable value: constructing a residential building on a serviced lot; renovating/expanding/transforming a building so that it remains or becomes (in whole or in part) residential; or recycling and converting a conventual building on a serviced lot into a multi-unit residential, commercial, or service building.
- If the project replaces a building that was destroyed by fire or demolished, the works must be completed within 60 months of the fire or demolition, and the resulting building must be residential with more dwelling units than the building it replaces.
- The credit applies starting from the effective date of the municipal assessment certificate issued under the Act respecting municipal taxation (Loi sur la fiscalité municipale).
Who is eligible?
- Owners of buildings located on a serviced lot who carry out work leading to a residential building (construction, renovation, expansion or conversion).
- Owners of a convent building located on a serviced lot who recycle it and convert it into a multi-family residential, commercial or service building.
Who is not eligible
- Any building/project that is already benefiting from another municipal tax credit program for the same work (only one municipal tax credit can apply for the same work).
Eligible expenses
- Municipal property taxes calculated on the increase in taxable value (“added value”) of the property following eligible work (tax credit applied to that added value).
Ineligible Costs and Activities
- Any building already receiving another municipal property tax credit program for the same work
Eligible geographic areas
- City of Trois-Rivières (Québec) — properties located within the program’s “serviced land / consolidation zones” as defined in the municipal by-law (2016, Chapter 46).
How to apply
1
Check eligibility
- Confirm the property is located on a serviced lot within the eligible consolidation zones (as defined by the municipal by-law)
- Confirm the planned work is eligible: residential construction on a serviced lot; renovation/expansion/transformation of a building that remains or becomes (in whole or in part) residential; or recycling/conversion of a conventual building
- If replacing a burned or demolished building, verify the additional conditions (completion within 60 months and more dwelling units than the replaced building)

- Provide the supporting information required for file review, as applicable
3
Pay the file review fee
- Pay the non-refundable file review fee of $100 (when required by the applicable program/by-law)
4
Obtain permit and complete work
- Obtain the required building permit before starting work (when the program requires prior authorization)
- Complete the eligible work and ensure a certificate takes effect under the Act respecting municipal taxation
5
Receive the tax credit
- The tax credit is applied automatically on the tax account, on the added value, according to the schedule: 100% (months 1–12), 50% (months 13–24), 25% (months 25–36)
- Ensure the property does not receive another municipal tax credit for the same work
Additional information
- This municipal tax credit is applied automatically on the property tax bill (i.e., it is not paid as a cash grant).
- The tax credit is tied to the property and is systematically transferred from one owner to another.
- For the same work, a property/person cannot receive more than one municipal property tax credit program under the by-law (or a similar earlier by-law).
- The tax credit may be adjusted if the property’s taxable value is modified under the Act respecting municipal taxation; however, no adjustment is made when the change results from the filing of a new assessment roll.
