When you buy a home, you might owe land transfer taxes or fees to the province or municipality in which you live. The amount varies by location (in some places, this means no taxes or fees at all), and is usually a percentage of the value of your home.
The one-time land transfer tax bill can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars. It’s one of many closing costs you’ll need to account for when buying a home. Using a calculator to estimate the taxes or fees you’d pay on a purchase is the best way to prepare for an upcoming purchase.
