№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

The Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55, covers Greenstone, and our filings there are made electronically — the same approach behind every closing we run.

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 Greenstone

What Greenstone buyers should know

Greenstone is a single-tier municipality within the Thunder Bay census division, and its buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since a municipal land transfer tax is unique to Toronto. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, for title review, closing preparation, and registration, with the land transfer tax and disbursements itemized separately. StatCan's 2021 census put Greenstone's population at 4,309 and its total private dwellings at 2,449, with 1,920 occupied by usual residents. The flat fee applies the same regardless of which part of the municipality the home is in.

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 Greenstone

Clean title, clean payout

For sellers, we discharge any mortgage registered on the Greenstone property, handle requisitions raised by the buyer's lawyer, and release your net proceeds once closing funds have cleared. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, unrelated to the sale price. Land transfer tax is the buyer's obligation, not yours, so it doesn't appear on your file, and we keep you posted as the closing 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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Greenstone closing questions

Can I work with a real estate lawyer near me in Greenstone without visiting an office?

Yes. We close Greenstone files entirely by phone, email, and secure document exchange, so you get full-service handling of your closing without needing to travel anywhere.

Is there a municipal land transfer tax in Greenstone?

No. A municipal land transfer tax is unique to Toronto within Ontario; Greenstone buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax and stop there.

Are there costs your flat fee doesn't cover?

Greenstone's registry of record is the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55; we handle that electronic filing directly once your closing wraps up.

How many dwellings does Greenstone have?
