The 2021 census put the median home at $300,000, with an average of $304,800. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021. No sales are published for towns in Quebec, Charlemagne included, so owners’ values are the measure. For property tax, the 2026 roll sets the median single-family home at $454,100, on July 1, 2024 market values.
