Moving to La Prairie
La Prairie grew by 9.5% between 2016 and 2021, to 26,406 residents in the 2021 Census. Just over half of occupied dwellings were single-detached houses (52.4%) and a good third were apartments in a small building (35.4%). Owners made up 71.9% of households. The city belongs to the MRC de Roussillon and the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, with direct access to the main roads close to the Samuel-De Champlain and Honoré-Mercier bridges.
Moving into Old La Prairie? The area is a heritage site, and any exterior work, on the building or the land, needs an authorization from Quebec’s Ministry of Culture and Communications. Its form is filled in when you file your permit application with the City’s urban planning department.
Empty boxes have somewhere to go: the ecocentre takes surplus cardboard for free, as long as the boxes are flattened and the styrofoam removed. The same ecocentre, at 1100 chemin Saint-José, takes bulky items that cannot be recovered, such as furniture and mattresses. It only accepts household materials, from residents of La Prairie and, since January 2026, Candiac.
If you arrive at a home with no recycling or organics bin, the City asks you to contact its public works department. And if you are buying, note that no copy of the tax bill is sent to the new owner: the information comes from your notary or the City.
Much of the city is recent. According to the census, 35.7% of dwellings were built since 2001, 12.5% of them between 2016 and 2021 alone. Nearly one home in four is a condominium (23.2%), and 39.3% of residents had moved in the previous five years. More than half of homes (56.0%) had three bedrooms or more.

Do I need permission to renovate in Old La Prairie?
Yes, for any exterior work on the building or the land. The authorization comes from Quebec’s Ministry of Culture and Communications, and its form goes with the permit application filed with the City.
I just moved to La Prairie. What should I ask the City for?
If there is no recycling or organics bin, call the public works department. If you bought, note that no copy of the tax bill is sent to the new owner: get the information from your notary or the City.
