Rimouski, Quebec
Rimouski is the most concentrated roll in this batch: ten parcels carry 8.53% of the city's $9.36 billion, the three largest are a university, a hospital and a CEGEP that pay no tax between them, and 14.5% of all assessed value in the city is non-taxable — while the largest private holding, Carrefour Rimouski, belongs to a Montreal company that bought it in 2022.

Can you find out who owns it?
Ownership in Quebec is public and free, but only one property at a time, and Rimouski shows the limit of that from the other direction: under s. 73.1 of the Loi sur la fiscalité municipale an owner may ask to have their name taken off the roll altogether where disclosure "pourrait mettre en péril leur sécurité ou celle d'une personne occupant ou utilisant l'immeuble", and the City publishes the form for doing it. The provincial bulk file publishes every Rimouski assessment unit — 20,585 in MAMH's December 2025 update — with land value, building value, lot area, storeys, year built, dwellings, non-residential premises and the statutory paragraph behind any tax exemption, but with the owner's name and mailing address cut out, and re-identification expressly forbidden. The roll in force is the 2026-2027-2028 triennial, deposited 15 October 2025, prepared by a private firm, Servitech inc., which equalised and revalued all 20,576 units. A sale price appears only in the Registre foncier du Québec, at 1,50 $ per document.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Université du Québec à Rimouski — main campus 300-333 allée des Ursulines / 207-213 rue Notre-Dame Est, Rimouski 14.42 ha site (144,206.50 m² of land) · 5 floors |
Institutional | Université du Québec à Rimouski The most valuable assessment unit in Rimouski: land $9,860,100 + buildings $147,090,000 = $156,950,100 (previous roll $117,309,900 — a 34% increase), CUBF 6821 "université", 5 storeys, 103 dwellings (the student residences), 7 non-residential premises, 144,206.50 m² of land, title first registered 1980-01-01. The whole value is exempt under s. 204(13°) of the Loi sur la fiscalité municipale, which covers an immovable entered in the name of a school service centre, a CEGEP or a university-level teaching establishment — the roll's statutory statement of the class of owner. UQAR is the only university at that address; the roll's owner field is redacted in the open file. |

Institutional | Santé Québec or an establishment of the Quebec health and social services network Roll: land $5,967,000 + buildings $150,574,800 = $156,541,800 (previous roll $113,756,400 — a 38% increase), CUBF 6513 "service d'hôpital", 8 storeys, 40,292.7 m² of floor area, 4 non-residential premises, built 1926, 43,336.20 m² of land, title first registered 2006-08-15. Exempt under s. 204(14°a) — entered in the name of Santé Québec or of an establishment listed in Schedule II of the Loi sur la gouvernance du système de santé et de services sociaux. It is $408,300 behind UQAR, which makes Rimouski's two largest parcels effectively a tie. |

| Cégep de Rimouski 60 rue de l'Évêché Ouest, Rimouski 5.39 ha site · 6 floors |
Institutional | Cégep de Rimouski Roll: land $6,129,400 + buildings $101,729,100 = $107,858,500 (previous roll $79,637,100), CUBF 6823 "C.E.G.E.P.", 6 storeys, 53,918.00 m² of land, title first registered 1980-01-01, exempt under s. 204(13°). A second CEGEP unit at 53 rue Saint-Germain Ouest (13,961.1 m², 6 storeys, built 1951) is separately assessed at $30,500,100 under the same paragraph. Together these three university and college parcels carry $295,308,700 — 3.2% of the entire city — and none of it is taxable. |

Exempt under s. 204(3°), which covers "un immeuble compris dans une unité d'évaluation inscrite au nom d'une municipalité locale qui est situé dans son territoire" — so Rimouski's own roll states that Rimouski owns it. The city's amphitheatre at 25 rue Saint-Germain Ouest (CUBF 7211, $29,376,000, 6 premises) is exempt under the same paragraph. |

Exempt under s. 204(13°) with an apportionment under s. 255(4°) — the school paragraphs — so it is held by a school service centre or school board. The roll does not say which, and the trade school at 348-350 boulevard Arthur-Buies Ouest / 424 avenue Ross ($31,916,500, CUBF 6831) and the primary school at 512 avenue Léonidas Sud ($40,365,600, built 2024) are in the same position. |

Groupe MACH's own property page lists “Carrefour Rimouski … 419, boulevard Jessop” and calls it “un centre commercial régional qui joue un rôle central dans l'activité commerciale de Rimouski et du Bas-Saint-Laurent”. No acquisition document was opened, so no vendor and no price is claimed. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Rimouski is the one city in this batch where the computation could be checked against the municipality's own published total. The City's Sommaire du rôle d'évaluation foncière gives taxable $7,946,237,900 + non-taxable $1,363,161,500 = $9,309,399,400, 20,576 units, 25,856 dwellings and 2,230 other premises — matched exactly by the earlier build's parse of the deposited roll, and identical to MAMH's Sommaire workbook row 10043. Figures below are recomputed from RM10043.xml, the quarterly-update version MAMH publishes (file dated 8 December 2025), which carries 9 more units and $55,207,300 (+0.59%) of maintenance changes since deposit: $9,364,606,700 over 20,585 units, taxable $8,002,667,100, non-taxable $1,361,909,200. Market-conditions reference date 1 July 2024. Re-sourced 2026-10-10 from MAMH's quarterly roll (www.mamh.gouv.qc.ca/role/RM10043.xml); the earlier build used a host whose robots.txt disallows crawling. Every marquee unit value is unchanged.
Total assessed value, Ville de Rimouski$9,364,606,700 CAD over 20,585 units
RM10043.xml, December 2025 update: land $1,913,655,600 + buildings $7,450,951,100; taxable $8,002,667,100, non-taxable $1,361,909,200, $30,400 farm-exempt; 26,031 dwellings, 1,326 rented rooms and 2,230 other premises. The City's own Sommaire du rôle for 2026 (work date 2025-10-15) gives the deposit figure: taxable $7,946,237,900 + non-taxable $1,363,161,500 = $9,309,399,400 over 20,576 units, 25,856 dwellings. Roll deposited 15 October 2025; triennial 2026/2027/2028; equalisation carried out, with all units revalued.
Highest assessed parcel$156,950,100 CAD
UQAR main campus, 300-333 allée des Ursulines: land $9,860,100 ($68/m² over 144,206.50 m²) + buildings $147,090,000, previous roll $117,309,900. One unit = 1.68% of the city's assessed value. Hôpital régional de Rimouski is second at $156,541,800, $408,300 behind.
Concentration of assessed valueTop 10 units 8.53%; top 100 units 19.02%
Top 10 = $798,397,000 of $9,364,606,700, computed from RL0404A across the whole of RM10043.xml — more than three times as concentrated as Laval (2.65%). Non-taxable value is $1,361,909,200, 14.5% of the roll ($1,363,161,500, 14.6%, in the deposited Sommaire), the highest share of the five Quebec cities done here. The earlier build's 16.0% ($1,490,931,800) counted every unit carrying any RL0504 entry, farm-credit and rate-class entries included; on that basis the updated file gives $1,489,131,900, 15.9%.
Who prepares the rollServitech inc., a private firm
The City's own Sommaire names the signing evaluator as a permanent evaluator of "SERVITECH INC. 990 avenue de Bourgogne, suite 410, QUÉBEC", described as "Évaluateur privé" on shared action, with PG Solutions inc. as IT mandatary, and records 4,102 certificates issued in the preceding twelve months for the upkeep of the roll.
Land value per m², Carrefour Rimouski$80 CAD/m²
Calculated from the roll: $10,269,700 of land value over RL0302A 128,371.60 m². 2026 roll, reference date 2024-07-01.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
In a city of 48,000 the question 'who owns the city' has a short answer, and in Rimouski it is: the public sector. The university, the hospital, the two CEGEP campuses, four schools, the sports centre, the amphitheatre and a provincial office building account for more than $700 million of assessed value and pay no property tax on any of it. The largest private holder is a Montreal company that arrived in 2022.
| Name | Type | Holdings |

Nineteen units in all carry a s. 204(14°) entry, worth $265,219,800. The 250-dwelling building at 280 avenue Belzile, listed here in the earlier build, carries no exemption in the December 2025 roll update. |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Rimouski's new housing is being driven by three identifiable developers and one social-economy group, and the projects are unusually large for a city of its size — a 17-storey tower and a 500-dwelling redevelopment of two contaminated downtown sites. Quebec publishes no builder league table, so each figure below comes from a named outlet's report of the developer's own announcement. The roll's year-built counts are low (106, 86, 52 and 70 dwellings for 2021-2024, and 162 for 2025) because RL0307A is only populated where an assessment unit has a single identified main building, so they are a floor and not a total.
| Name | Type | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Groupe DTM Le Soleil, 18 December 2025: "Le projet, évalué entre 40 et 50 millions de dollars … D'une hauteur de 52 mètres, Le Phare sera la plus haute tour à l'est de Lévis", to be built at the corner of rue Saint-Germain and rue Julien-Réhel on what is now a parking lot behind Desjardins, with about a hundred residents attending the developer's voluntary information session. Le Soleil names the brothers who run Groupe DTM, Tommy and Miguel Perreault, as the people behind the project; the company is the owner here. |
Family / private | Le Phare — 17 storeys, 52 m, $40-50MA |
| Société de développement Angus Radio-Canada: "Cinq cents logements verront le jour sur les terrains de l'ancien Cooprix et de l'ancien garage municipal à Rimouski. L'esquisse représente la première phase du projet, qui comptera au total 324 logements." The two sites are contaminated former commercial and municipal land in the city centre; the sketch is credited to the Société de développement Angus, the Montreal non-profit developer. |
Institution | 500 dwellings, first phase 324A |
| Groupe Deluxeco Radio-Canada: "Modélisation 3D des quatre immeubles à logements du Domaine Normandie qui seront érigés à l'angle du boulevard Arthur-Buies et de la rue de la Normandie", credited to Groupe Deluxeco. The unit count and project value reported in search results could not be read on the page itself, so neither is stated here. |
Private company | four apartment buildings (Domaine Normandie)A |
| Ville de Rimouski Included because the City is itself one of Rimouski's largest property owners and the counterparty on the downtown redevelopment: the 2019 sports centre at 150 2e Rue Est ($65,136,600) and the amphitheatre at 25 rue Saint-Germain Ouest ($29,376,000) are both exempt under s. 204(3°) as immovables entered in the name of the local municipality within its own territory, and the former municipal garage is one of the two Angus sites. |
Government | $94,512,600 across its two largest parcelsA |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Rimouski's commercial property is a two-pole market — one enclosed regional centre and one big-box strip on the Montée Industrielle-et-Commerciale — and the enclosed centre belongs to an out-of-region company. Nothing in Rimouski is large enough to appear in a REIT's property schedule, so the figures below are the roll's and the owner's own.
| Name | Type | Floor area |
|---|---|---|
| Groupe MACH Mach's own property page gives Carrefour Rimouski at 419 boulevard Jessop and its about page states "40 M de pi² répartis sur plus de 240 propriétés … 15 centres commerciaux", 24M sq ft of development land, more than 5,000 residential units under management and 450+ staff, founded 2000 and B Corp certified. The roll records 37,283.7 m² of floor area and 76 non-residential premises on the 12.84 ha Rimouski site, title first registered 2022-03-01. |
Private company | 37,283.7 m², 76 premises in Rimouski; 40M sq ft and 240+ properties nationallyA |
| 367-423 Montée Industrielle-et-Commerciale (owner not established) The city's big-box retail strip and its second most valuable commercial unit: land $14,991,000 + buildings $27,002,000 = $41,993,000 (previous roll $38,040,000), CUBF 5002, 99,689.20 m² of land, title first registered 2017-01-01, fully taxable. The open roll redacts the owner. |
Private company | 19 premises, 9.97 ha, $41,993,000 assessedA |
| 419-423 boulevard Jessop corridor (owners not established) The ring of parcels around Carrefour Rimouski is fragmented and individually held: 375 boulevard Jessop (grocery, 3,808.9 m²) $9,594,100; 400 boulevard Jessop (clothing) $3,455,800; 359 boulevard Jessop (pharmacy) $3,416,500; 396, 405, 391, 381-385 and 360 boulevard Jessop each between $1.0M and $2.4M. The fragmentation is the finding; the roll names none of the owners. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- Who owns 85-95 boulevard René-Lepage Est, Rimouski's largest residential building (334 dwellings, 11 storeys, $58,366,000, title first registered 2022-08-11), and who owns the 250-dwelling building at 280 avenue Belzile, which MAMH's December 2025 roll update carries with no s. 204 exemption at all (non-residential class 1B), so it is not held by the health network.
- Which school service centre holds the four Rimouski school parcels the roll exempts under s. 204(13°) and s. 255(4°): 250 and 348-350 boulevard Arthur-Buies Ouest and 512 avenue Léonidas Sud, the three largest of them.
- Whether the State or the Société québécoise des infrastructures holds 181-183 avenue de la Cathédrale; s. 204(1°) covers both and the roll does not distinguish them.
- Whether UQAR and the Cégep de Rimouski hold their campuses directly. The roll's s. 204(13°) exemption establishes the statutory class and the institution at each address is unambiguous, but no deed or filing was opened.
- What Groupe MACH paid for Carrefour Rimouski, and from whom. The roll records the current owner's title as first registered 2022-03-01; no acquisition document or press release was opened, so no vendor and no price is stated.
- Groupe DTM's cumulative unit count and the size of its Le Bic project. Search results give 270 units built over about a decade and 400 units at Le Bic by 2032; neither figure appears on a page that opened, because Radio-Canada renders article bodies in JavaScript.
- The unit count and value of Groupe Deluxeco's Domaine Normandie. Only the photo caption naming four buildings at Arthur-Buies and de la Normandie could be read.
- Owner names are redacted from the provincial bulk roll and the licence forbids re-identifying them, so no lawful bulk owner join exists in Quebec. Rimouski goes further than most: s. 73.1 of the Loi sur la fiscalité municipale lets an owner have their name removed from the roll itself on safety grounds, and the City publishes the application form.
