Dear taxpayers, After years of lobbying on behalf of our community, we are pleased to inform you that the Québec government has finally normalized school taxes across the province. This means that in each of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s administrative regions - Laval, Laurentides, and Lanaudière - there will be no difference in the tax bills between English and French school boards. Previously, the tax rates varied considerably depending on where homeowners lived or student enrolment. The lower school tax rates also resulted in some taxpayers choosing to pay the lowest rate in their region. With normalized tax rates you are no longer penalized for supporting your community and you have every reason to pay your taxes to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, including the fact that you are supporting one of the top 10 school boards in the province! The following changes result from the Act to reform the school tax system: One regional tax rate for all the taxable properties within the same administrative region (SWLSB covers the Laval, Laurentides, and Lanaudière administrative regions). The tax is calculated based on the value of the adjusted standardized assessment of the immovable that exceeds $25,000 (the first $25,000 of your property is exempted from taxes).

Dear taxpayers,

After years of lobbying on behalf of our community, we are pleased to inform you that the Québec government has finally normalized school taxes across the province. This means that in each of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s administrative regions - Laval, Laurentides, and Lanaudière - there will be no difference in the tax bills between English and French school boards. Previously, the tax rates varied considerably depending on where homeowners lived or student enrolment. The lower school tax rates also resulted in some taxpayers choosing to pay the lowest rate in their region. With normalized tax rates you are no longer penalized for supporting your community and you have every reason to pay your taxes to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, including the fact that you are supporting one of the top 10 school boards in the province!

The following changes result from the Act to reform the school tax system:• One regional tax rate for all the taxable properties within the same administrative region (SWLSB covers the Laval, Laurentides, and

Lanaudière administrative regions).• The tax is calculated based on the value of the adjusted standardized assessment of the immovable that exceeds $25,000 (the first

$25,000 of your property is exempted from taxes).

Chers contribuables,

Après de nombreuses années à faire pression sur le gouvernement du Québec pour notre communauté, nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que le gouvernement du Québec a finalement procédé à l’uniformisation des taxes scolaires à l’échelle de la province. En d’autres mots, dans chaque région administrative de la Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier, soit Laval, les Laurentides et Lanaudière, il n’y aura dorénavant aucune différence dans le compte de taxe scolaire entre commissions scolaires francophones et anglophones. Auparavant, le taux de la taxe scolaire faisait l’objet d’écarts considérables selon le lieu de résidence des propriétaires ou l’effectif scolaire, faisant en sorte que certains contribuables choisissaient de payer le plus bas taux dans leur région.

Grâce à l’uniformisation des taux, vous n’êtes plus pénalisés pour le soutien accordé à votre communauté. Vous avez maintenant toutes les raisons de payer vos taxes à la Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier, sans compter le fait que

vous appuyez l’une des 10 meilleures commissions scolaires de la province!

Les changements suivants découlent de la Loi portant réforme du système de taxation scolaire : • Un taux par région de taxation qui s’applique à toutes les propriétés imposables au sein de la même région administrative

(la CSSWL couvre les régions administratives de Laval, des Laurentides et de Lanaudière).• Le taux est calculé sur la valeur de l’évaluation uniformisée ajustée de l’immeuble qui excède 25 000 $ (la loi exempte les premiers

25 000 $ de valeur de votre propriété).
