Since 2016, the municipal tax has been $0.46 per month. This tax will be increased to $0.52 starting January 1st, 2024. Added to this increase is an annual indexation mechanism which will take effect January 1st, 2025. This tax applies to any telephone service allowing you to dial 9-1-1 or in the case of a multi-line telephone service other than a Centrex service, per outgoing access line.
9-1-1 is a municipal responsibility in Québec. Less than thirty emergency call centers provide service to the people of Québec. Some are managed by urban agglomerations, local municipalities, intermunicipal boards of police, non profit regional organizations, a regional county municipality or a private company.
