№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Aurora properties register through the York Region Land Registry Office (LRO #65). Registration itself is completed electronically through ONLAND (Teraview), which is why our fully online process fits how Aurora closings are actually filed.

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 Aurora

What Aurora buyers should know

Because Aurora sits in Ontario outside Toronto, buyers here pay the provincial land transfer tax only — there is no additional municipal land transfer tax layered on top of it. As a Town within York Region, Aurora's closings follow the same provincial rules that apply across the region, and we account for that single-tax structure when we prepare your closing cost estimate. Whether you're purchasing a detached home, a semi, or a condominium unit, our flat fee for a purchase file is $1,354.87, HST included; disbursements and the provincial land transfer tax itself are billed separately, at cost. We send you a clear breakdown early in the file so there's nothing to guess at before closing day.

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 Aurora

Clean title, clean payout

On a sale in Aurora, our work centers on clearing your title and getting your proceeds to you accurately and on time. We arrange discharge of any existing mortgage, respond to the requisitions the buyer's lawyer raises, and prepare the closing documents needed to transfer the property. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller, so it doesn't appear on your statement of adjustments. Our flat fee for a sale file is $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements billed separately at cost.

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 Aurora

One flat fee, every mortgage

Whether you're putting a new mortgage on an Aurora property, refinancing, or registering a private mortgage, our Mortgage service is priced at one flat fee of $1,241.87, HST included. We review the lender's commitment letter for anything that needs to be satisfied before funding, prepare and register the charge on title, and confirm the lender's conditions are met so the funds can be advanced on the date you need them.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Aurora closing questions

Looking for a real estate lawyer near you in Aurora?

You don't need a law office in Aurora itself to get local, responsive service. We serve Aurora clients from end to end — reviewing documents, arranging signing, and closing — entirely online and by phone.

Does Aurora charge its own land transfer tax on top of Ontario's?

No. Aurora is not Toronto, and Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that layers a municipal land transfer tax on top of the provincial one. Buyers in Aurora pay the provincial land transfer tax only.

What's actually included in your flat fee for an Aurora closing?

The flat fee covers our legal work and includes HST. Costs we don't control — the provincial land transfer tax, registration charges, and optional title insurance — are itemized separately so you can see exactly what each dollar is for.

Where does an Aurora real estate transaction get registered?

Through the York Region Land Registry Office (LRO #65), using Ontario's electronic ONLAND (Teraview) registration system — the same system our online process is built around.

How large is Aurora, and does that affect how you handle a file?

Aurora is a Town of about 62,057 people within York Region. Its size doesn't change our process — every purchase, sale, or mortgage file gets the same flat-fee, fully online handling regardless of where in Ontario the property sits.
