Ontario Land Transfer Tax

Generally, if you buy land or an interest in land in Ontario you pay Ontario Land Transfer Tax.

Purchasers must Pay Ontario's Land Transfer Tax at the time a property transfer is registered. Our office collects the Land Transfer Tax payable from you and submits the required forms and funds to the Government of Ontario. If you are purchasing commercial property call our office directly for rates and disbursement quotes.
