What the $49 includes

The free panel tells you whether a property is assessed above the comparable properties near it, and how many of them there are. It stops there deliberately; the rest is the paid part.

One payment of $49, for one property, produces a printable dossier containing:

• The assessed value as the roll states it — land, building, the previous roll, and the market reference date the assessment actually speaks to. That date decides which evidence counts, and most owners have never been told it.
• The estimated annual difference against the median of the comparable properties nearby, and where this property sits among them.
• Those comparable properties as a table — address, assessed value, building area, lot area, year built — drawn from the public roll, so an assessor can check every line of it.
• The history of this assessment, roll by roll, as far back as the public rolls carry it for this property.
• Whatever in the assessor's own record is worth raising. The roll marks some of its own entries as estimated; where it does, the dossier says which.
• Which body the review request is filed with, and the deadline that applies. It goes to the assessment body, not the municipality — a distinction that costs people their deadline every year.
• The government's own review form, already filled in. The province publishes a fillable form; we hand you a copy with the boxes we can answer already answered — municipality, civic number, street, lot, the roll years, and the two boxes that ask you to state your case, written out with your figures. Your name, your contact details and your signature are what remain. We leave the market-value box empty on purpose: it asks what the property would sell for, and this project holds no sale prices.
• The method and its limits, printed on the document rather than kept off it, including that this compares assessments with assessments and holds no sale prices.

The dossier is emailed to the address that paid, and it is built to be printed, signed and mailed with the form. A section with no data behind it is left out rather than filled in with guesses, so a property whose history the rolls do not carry gets a dossier without that table.

A review can raise an assessment as easily as lower it. Nothing here is advice to file one, and none of it is an appraisal.

Contact

Questions, corrections, or a problem with a purchase: contact@monrole.ca.

Accuracy complaints are treated as bug reports. If a figure here is wrong, we would rather hear it from you than not.

Refunds

Purchases are not refundable once delivered: the review request ($49) once your dossier link is sent, the figure in dollars ($15) once it is shown. The fee your assessment body charges for a review request is its own, generally not refunded by it, and never covered by us. Review requests bought while the 30-day money back was offered keep it: write to contact@monrole.ca.

The refund goes back to the card you paid with; your bank usually shows it within 5 to 10 business days. Once it goes through, the report on this site locks again.

If you paid and the report never appeared, if it unlocked the wrong property, or if it proves to have been miscomputed, write whenever you notice and you will be refunded in full.

The figure in dollars

While a municipality's review window is closed — from 1 May until its next roll is published — nothing can be filed, so the review request is not for sale. What the free panel shows then is the direction and a band: assessed above or below similar homes, and by more than how much a year, with how many comparable properties that rests on, and three of them. For $15 you get the yearly difference in dollars, the median assessment it is measured against, and all the comparable properties as a table with their matricules, for that one property.

Three things to know before paying. The figure describes the roll in force: it is what the gap costs, or saves, each year that roll stands — not money anyone can claim back. Paying also reserves the property: your email is kept to write to you once, the day the next roll is published, with a link to it, and is then deleted. And the $15 is counted toward the $49 review request on that same property once the new roll is out. The $15 is not refundable once the figure is shown, unless it never appeared, concerns the wrong property, or proves to have been miscomputed.

Reserving your spot for the next roll

On any property whose municipality will file a new roll, you can reserve your spot: one email the day that roll is published. Here is exactly what that involves.

• What we keep: your email address, your municipality's code and the property you reserved (its number on the provincial roll, not your name). Nothing else. Sign-ups made before October 2026 name only the municipality.
• Why: to send you one email, when your municipality's roll is published — and, if you reserved a property, so that email can say what the new roll shows for that property.
• How long: your address, your municipality and the property are deleted at the moment that email is sent. A reservation that was never used is deleted 30 days after the review deadline of the roll it was waiting for; a sign-up without a property, after twenty-four months.
• What remains afterwards: a proof of consent, as a one-way fingerprint — enough to answer "did this person consent?" if we are asked, and impossible to turn back into a mailing list.
• To remove it sooner: the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email deletes it immediately. We keep no unsubscribe list — the record simply goes.
• To reach us: contact@monrole.ca.

These addresses are never sold or shared, and are used for nothing else. A review request can raise a value as easily as lower it, and the reminder recommends nothing.

Who is responsible for your personal information

Quebec's Law 25 requires this to be named rather than left implied, so here it is.

Max Baker — owner, and the person in charge of the protection of personal information.
MonRôle, 1585 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal, Québec H3H 1H5
contact@monrole.ca

The only personal information this site holds is a reservation for the next roll — an email address, a municipality code and, where one was reserved, the roll number of the property — and, after that reservation is used and deleted, the one-way consent fingerprint left behind. Both are described in full above. Payments are handled by Stripe, and no buyer's email address is stored here — the receipt lives with Stripe, not with us. The usage counters hold no personal information at all.

You may ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, and withdraw your consent at any time. The unsubscribe link in the reminder email does the last of those immediately and without asking anyone. For the others, write to the address above.

If you are not satisfied with how a request is handled, the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec hears complaints.
