№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Baldwin registers through the Sudbury Land Registry Office (LRO #53); filings are electronic, and document review, signing, and closing on your file proceed by phone, email, and e-signature.

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 Baldwin

What Baldwin buyers should know

Buyers in Baldwin Township pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the additional municipal land transfer tax that Toronto charges doesn't apply here. Our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with the land transfer tax and disbursements itemized separately at cost. Baldwin recorded 326 private dwellings in the 2021 census, with 238 occupied by usual residents. Title search, requisitions, mortgage instructions, and closing all run in full for a township this size — the fee we quote you doesn't shrink to match the population.

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 Baldwin

Clean title, clean payout

Selling property in Baldwin, we handle the mortgage discharge, answer the buyer's requisitions on title, and release your net proceeds once closing funds and registration are confirmed. The flat selling fee is $1,241.87, HST included; disbursements are billed separately at cost. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, so it doesn't appear on your closing statement.

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.
