Dorion is a small township within the Thunder Bay census division, with roughly 375 residents as of the 2021 census. Real estate closings here don't run on a shortened or scaled-back version of our process — same flat fee, same HST-included price, same online paperwork.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Dorion-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Dorion title work goes through the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, filed electronically via Ontario's ONLAND system rather than in person. That's what allows document review, signing, and closing to run entirely by phone, email, and e-signature.
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.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
Purchasing in Dorion means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing extra at the municipal level, since the added municipal land transfer tax that Toronto charges doesn't apply outside city limits. We factor that provincial LTT number into your closing cost breakdown at the outset and let you know if a first-time buyer rebate applies. Census figures for Dorion in 2021 show 176 total private dwellings, with 160 occupied by their usual residents — a relatively high occupancy rate for a rural township of its size. Occupied year-round or otherwise, the fee and the review steps are the same for every Dorion file.
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.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
Selling property in Dorion follows Ontario's typical process: an existing mortgage is discharged from title, the buyer's lawyer's requisitions are answered, and your net proceeds are calculated and released as soon as closing funds come in. Since land transfer tax is a buyer's cost, it has no effect on what you take home as the seller. We keep you posted as your file moves through each stage rather than leaving updates until the end.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages registered against Dorion title are all covered by our Mortgage service for one flat fee with HST included. We go through your lender's commitment letter, register the charge properly, and check that all closing conditions are met before funds are due to flow. The price doesn't change based on the type of mortgage.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
Yes — Dorion files go through the same flat-fee process, by phone and e-signature, as any other Ontario township, no matter how small its population.
No. Among Ontario municipalities, only Toronto layers on its own land transfer tax; Dorion buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only.
The flat fee includes our legal work and HST. Land transfer tax, registration costs, and optional title insurance are separate, itemized charges billed at cost.
Dorion registers under the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office (LRO #55). Electronic filing through ONLAND is part of what your flat fee covers.
Typically, yes. We begin title review, mortgage instructions, and closing documents as soon as you retain us so the closing date in your agreement isn't put at risk.
