Back in 1976, a new method of municipal financing was proposed by a liberal minister named Jean Bienvenue and, when adopted, became known as \u00abla taxe de Bienvenue\u00bb. Because \u00abbienvenue\u00bb translates to \u00abwelcome\u00bb in English, the tax became known as the \u00abwelcome tax\u00bb.

A tariff is imposed and levied on any immovable entered on the property assessment roll for water consumed as measured by meter. Typically, the annual billing represents a full year consumption, but the amount may vary from the previous year due to the period spanned between the dates of the reading, as well as the variation in water usage. The rates are per the schedule below.<\/p><p><strong>Water consumption per imperial gallon<\/strong><\/p><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><strong>From<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><strong>To<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><strong>Min.<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\"><strong>Rate per 1000G<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\">0<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">35 000<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$100<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">N\/A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\">35 001<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">175 000<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$100<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$4.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\">175 001<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">245 000<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$100<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$7.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width: 25%;\">245 001<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">unlimited<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$100<\/td><td style=\"width: 25%;\">$9.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Annually, typically spanning from mid-August to late September, an external firm is contracted to visit Hampstead buildings lacking meters with antennas (employees of the firm always wear photo identification) to collect as many real-time readings as feasible. When their initial visit proves unsuccessful, response cards are left and a second visit is made at a different time of day in order to maximize positive results. Should these efforts still not yield the desired reading, another calling card with Hampstead\u2019s coordinates is left in the mailbox. We encourage all residents to ensure that an actual reading is taken for purposes of accuracy in billing.<\/p><p>Should an actual reading not be available (or if any meter is found to be dysfunctional or broken), an estimate based on the historical average consumption of your property is calculated. However, if that same water consumption history proves unreliable, an estimate is calculated per the average consumption of the same building category.<\/p><p>Please note that, with respect to property transfers, the water tax bill is by law payable by the current owner even though the consumption may go back to the previous year\u2019s reading. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you ensure with your notary that an adjustment calculation for water consumption has been made up to the sale date (n.b. Your notary should already have contacted us for this information).<\/p><p>Should circumstances occur where a water meter breaks due to water freezing inside of it and need to be replaced, a charge based on the meter\u2019s diameter is invoiced. It should be noted that since all water meters are installed inside a (heated) property, a meter should normally not freeze.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70a3e5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"70a3e5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a63eaa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a63eaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Pay your tax bill<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dd1bba elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"4dd1bba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
