Last August, our Bureau of Investigation reported that two legal hypothecs were registered on a property that Mr. Coderre owns with his ex-spouse.
The former mayor of Montreal personally owes more than $134,000 to the Quebec tax authorities under the Tax Act.
The claims from Revenu Québec, mentioned in two different procedures, target the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Denis Coderre had specified to the Bureau of Investigation in August that the residence was “inhabited exclusively by [son] ex-wife for years and [qu’ils étaient] in the final separation process at the end of the month.
However, a “For Sale” poster now appears in front of the house on Avenue Lamoureux.
“For the sake of transparency and since the media ask me; It’s no longer a secret that Revenu Québec imposed a legal hypothec on me of $133,000.00. Given that the house is in co-ownership (I’ll spare you the details), we finally co-signed the brokerage contract for the sale of the house last Friday,” wrote Denis Coderre in a Facebook publication.
The 15-room residence built in 1986 was put up for sale for $749,800. It has a garage and has land of 4,130 sq. ft., according to the property’s announcement on the Centris website.
