The City of Montreal says it has collected almost $185 million in fines from residents year‑to‑date, according to data up to October 16, 2026. This amount represents more than a 20% increase compared with the same period in 2025.
The rise in fine collections has become a notable source of revenue for the municipal administration under the Martinez Ferrada leadership. The higher issuance of fines is credited with boosting the city’s financial intake during 2026.
