Insurable value

Bourassa Jodoin has a team of experts in insurable value, members of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés, who have been working in the field for over 30 years. Insurable value is an exhaustive study of the cost of totally rebuilding a building to current standards, while preserving its quality, architecture and character.

The cost of reconstruction refers to what it would cost to completely rebuild a building. This cost takes into account both the construction elements that must be reproduced and those that can be replaced without detracting from the building's overall character and architecture.

Insuring your property is not something to be taken lightly, especially in these times of rising construction costs. Make sure you have the right insurance coverage to protect you in the event of a claim.

A full narrative report of insurable value is mandatory every 5 years for condominiums, and strongly recommended for all other types of property, since it's in every building owner's interest to protect his or her assets with adequate insurance coverage.

Our team of chartered appraisers specializing in insurable value will be able to meet all your needs, for all types of property.

  • Condominium
  • Institutional
  • Industrial
  • Commercial
  • Residential
  • Agricultural

Who pays for heating, electricity, property taxes, insurance and other expenses?

The analysis reports provided by our chartered appraisers will help you negotiate your lease in line with market parameters, while maximizing the profitability of your rental properties.

Appraisal
for class action

Living near wind turbines can affect your quality of life and the value of your property. The same is true if your land is affected by the construction of an airport or the installation of a mine.

In such cases, a class action may be possible. Bourassa Jodoin can provide you with an in-depth analysis of these issues.

Municipal challenges and negotiating the land roll

Good property management helps yous reduce fixed costs.

The value entered in the first year of the roll by the organization responsible for property assessment remains unchanged for the next three (3) years of the assessment roll, unless an addition or modification is made to the property.

FOUR SITUATIONS GIVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A REVISION:
  • Roll filing
  • Modification of the roll by certificate
  • Notice of correction ex officio
  • Role modification not carried out by the assessor
FOR EACH EVENT, THE LAW SETS A DEADLINE FOR FILING A REQUEST FOR REVIEW.

The taxpayer has until April 30 (as indicated on the tax bill or notice of assessment) of the first year of the roll to submit an application for review. The taxpayer must use the prescribed forms, to which supporting information must be attached. These forms are available on municipal websites.

The municipal assessor must respond before September 1 of the roll filing date, or on the date indicated on the application for review form, attesting to receipt of the document by the municipal body.
If no agreement is reached with the assessor, the taxpayer may appeal to the Real Estate Division of the Administrative Tribunal of Québec, by filing a motion with the Tribunal Secretariat.

The petition may also be filed with any clerk's office of the small claims division of a courthouse. The petition must be filed within 60 days of the date of dispatch of the appraiser's reply. If no response has been received from the assessor, the deadline is 30 days after the date indicated on the Request for Review form returned by the municipal body.

Good property management can help you cut costs. These procedures may seem complex, but they can easily be carried out by professionals in the field. Meet with our real estate appraisal consultants to check whether the value entered on the roll for your property(ies) is representative.
