244.23. Every local municipality that does not impose the surtax provided for in section 244.11 may, by by-law, impose a tax on units of assessment entered on its property assessment roll which are comprised of non-residential immovables or of residential immovables for which the operator is required to hold a permit issued under the Tourist Establishments Act (chapter E-15.1).
However, a unit of assessment is not subject to the tax if it is comprised solely of an agricultural operation registered in accordance with a regulation made under section 36.15 of the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation (chapter M-14), for the whole of which a certificate was issued under section 220.2 of this Act, or if it is comprised solely of vacant land, of a body of water or of both vacant land and a body of water.
A unit of assessment is not subject to the tax if it is comprised solely of a dependency of a wholly residential unit not referred to in the first paragraph or is comprised solely of the road bed of a railway to which section 47 applies.
Notwithstanding section 2, the second and third paragraphs apply only to whole units of assessment.
A unit of assessment is subject to the tax if it is not referred to in the second or third paragraph and is composed both of residential or non-residential immovables referred to in the first paragraph and of residential immovables not referred to in that paragraph, or immovables comprised in an agricultural operation that is registered in accordance with a regulation made under section 36.15 of the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation.
