№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Amherstburg properties sit with the Essex Land Registry Office, LRO #12, where registrations are lodged electronically through ONLAND (Teraview) rather than presented over a counter — the same electronic path our online process relies on.

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 Amherstburg

What Amherstburg buyers should know

Buyers in Amherstburg pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since municipal land transfer tax in this province is specific to Toronto and doesn't apply here. Purchasing in Amherstburg costs $1,354.87 flat with us, HST included, covering our review of the agreement, the title search, and preparation of closing documents. Land transfer tax and disbursements are billed separately at cost and itemized on your statement. Amherstburg's population was 23,524 in the 2021 census, and the flat fee holds regardless of the type of property you're purchasing there.

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 Amherstburg

Clean title, clean payout

On a sale, we clear the existing mortgage from title, deal with the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and make sure your proceeds reach you once everything is finalized. Land transfer tax applies to the buyer, not the seller, so it doesn't factor into your costs. Our price for a sale is $1,241.87 flat, HST included, and disbursements come billed at cost, itemized on their own. We manage the process online and update you as the file progresses.

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.
