№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Land dealings in Grey Highlands are recorded at the Grey office, LRO #16, through the ONLAND electronic system rather than paper filing. That's part of why we run the entire file, retainer to closing, without meeting in person.

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 Grey Highlands

What Grey Highlands buyers should know

If you're buying property in Grey Highlands, the only land transfer tax you'll pay is Ontario's provincial rate; the municipality doesn't charge one of its own on top. Our purchase price is $1,354.87 flat with HST included, and we keep the land transfer tax and disbursements as separate at-cost line items rather than folding them into that number. Grey Highlands, a municipality within Grey County, had roughly 10,424 residents at last count. Whether your purchase is a first home or an investment property, the process and the price 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.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Grey Highlands

Clean title, clean payout

Selling a Grey Highlands home puts us in the seller's seat: we pay out and discharge your current mortgage, deal with the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and forward your proceeds once the sale registers. Land transfer tax belongs to the buyer under Ontario law, so it never factors into your bill. Our price for selling is $1,241.87 flat, HST included, with no separate charge for a standard payout or discharge.

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

Grey Highlands closing questions

Do you need to be based in Grey Highlands to close my file?

No. We act on Grey Highlands closings from wherever you are, handling review, signing, and closing entirely online and by phone.

Does Grey Highlands add its own land transfer tax on top of Ontario's?

No — that extra municipal tax only exists in Toronto. Buyers here pay the provincial land transfer tax and nothing more at the municipal level.

Will I owe more than the flat fee you quote me?

Your legal fee is fixed and includes HST. Costs that come from the government or third parties — the provincial land transfer tax and, if you choose it, title insurance — are shown to you as separate at-cost items, not hidden extras.

Where do Grey Highlands real estate documents get registered?

In the Grey registry division — office #16 — via ONLAND, Ontario's electronic land registration system.

Is your fee different for a municipality this size compared to a bigger city?

No. Whether the property is in a municipality of roughly ten thousand people or a much larger centre, our flat fee doesn't change.
