№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

The Ajax-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.

Registration & logistics

Ajax properties register through the Durham Land Registry Office (LRO #40), with the filing completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) — a process that aligns directly with how our online service is built to work.

Property taxes at closing

You don’t “set up” property tax — we prorate it. The statement of adjustments credits whoever prepaid; after closing, the municipality bills you directly and you can enrol in pre-authorized payments.

Closing entirely online

ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.

№ 02Buying in Ajax

What Ajax buyers should know

Ajax is a Town in Durham Region with a 2021 census population of about 126,666, and its buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since Toronto is still the sole Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax on top. We charge a flat $1,354.87 for a purchase, HST included, regardless of property type, and your provincial LTT estimate is included in your closing cost breakdown from day one. Where a first-time buyer rebate applies to your purchase, we flag it as part of the same review. Title search, mortgage instructions, and signing are all done online, which keeps an Ajax closing running at the same pace as any file across Durham Region.

Before you waive conditions

Financing, inspection, status certificate — your offer’s conditions are legal protections, and waiving them is a legal decision. We review before you sign and flag the risks in plain language.

Pre-construction & assignments

Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.

№ 03Selling in Ajax

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in Ajax costs a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and covers discharging your existing mortgage from title, responding to the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your proceeds promptly once closing funds arrive. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, so it has no bearing on a seller's file. We keep Ajax and Durham Region sellers informed at each stage so closing day proceeds without any last-minute surprises.

No land transfer tax

Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.

Discharge handled

We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.

Same-day proceeds

Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.

№ 04Mortgages in Ajax

One flat fee, every mortgage

New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Ajax properties all carry the same flat $1,241.87 fee, HST included. We review your lender's commitment letter, register the charge on title, and confirm the conditions are satisfied so funds are ready to move on time. One fee, no matter which of the three fits your file.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.

Ajax closing questions

I need a real estate lawyer near me for an Ajax closing — do you cover it?

Yes. We serve Ajax and the rest of Durham Region through an online process, with document review, signing, and closing all handled by phone and email instead of an office visit.

Does Ajax have its own municipal land transfer tax?

No. As a Town in Durham Region, Ajax applies only the provincial land transfer tax — Toronto remains the only Ontario municipality with a municipal land transfer tax.

What exactly does the $1,354.87 purchase fee cover?

It's our full flat legal fee, HST included, for a standard Ajax purchase. The provincial land transfer tax and any disbursements are separate, itemized charges billed at cost.

Which land registry office serves Ajax?

Ajax properties fall under the Durham Land Registry Office, LRO #40. Registration itself happens electronically through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) system — no paper filing, no counter visit, and no charge beyond your flat fee.

Can my Ajax closing hold to the date already in the agreement?

Usually, yes. As soon as you retain us, we get started on title review and closing documents to keep that scheduled date on track.
