№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Amaranth is served by the Dufferin Land Registry Office, LRO #7, and filings go in electronically there, the standard part of how we run every closing we handle in the county.

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 Amaranth

What Amaranth buyers should know

Amaranth is a township in Dufferin County, and because Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that levies its own land transfer tax, buyers here pay just the provincial land transfer tax. We charge a flat $1,354.87 for purchases, HST included, covering title search, document preparation, and registration; the provincial land transfer tax and disbursements are separate government and third-party costs, itemized so you can see them before closing. The 2021 census counted 4,327 residents and 1,428 total private dwellings, with 1,372 occupied by usual residents. That flat pricing holds whether you're closing on a rural property or a home in one of the township's smaller settlement areas.

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.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Amaranth

Clean title, clean payout

Selling an Amaranth property means we discharge your existing mortgage, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and get your proceeds released once funds clear on closing day. The sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller, so it has no bearing on your closing, and we send progress updates as the file moves forward.

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.

Do I need an Amaranth-based lawyer to close my file?

No. We close Amaranth files online — document review, signing, and registration are all handled by phone and secure portal, without requiring a nearby office.
