№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Augusta is a township in the Leeds and Grenville census division. There's no dedicated land registry office listed for this area — registration is completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), the province's system for recording title.

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 Augusta

What Augusta buyers should know

Augusta buyers owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing further at the municipal level — Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that adds its own municipal land transfer tax. Our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included; the land transfer tax and disbursements are charged separately, at cost, and shown in full on your closing statement so nothing is a surprise on signing day. The 2021 Census recorded 3,046 total private dwellings in Augusta, of which 2,952 were occupied by usual residents. Whatever kind of home you're buying here, the fee and the tax structure stay the same.

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 Augusta

Clean title, clean payout

Selling property in Augusta involves the same core steps everywhere in Ontario: we review title, discharge the existing mortgage, answer the buyer's requisitions, and send your proceeds once closing funds land. Land transfer tax is the buyer's responsibility, not the seller's, so it has no impact on your net. Our flat selling fee is $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements itemized separately.

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.
