Harris Township, in the Timiskaming census division, recorded a population of 530 in the 2021 census. We close real estate files here at the same flat fee and by the same phone-, email-, and e-signature-driven process we use in Ontario's largest cities.
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 Harris-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Property in Harris registers under the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54, and that registration is filed electronically the same way it would be for a file in downtown Toronto — through the province's ONLAND platform.
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.
A Harris purchase carries Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no municipal add-on, since only one Ontario city layers a municipal land transfer tax on top of the province's. Statistics Canada recorded 217 private dwellings in Harris as of 2021, with 205 occupied by usual residents — a tight ratio suggesting most housing stock here is lived in year-round. Buying in a township this size doesn't simplify or complicate the legal file: it's the same title search and closing coordination for a flat $1,354.87 including HST, with land transfer tax and disbursements billed separately at actual cost, itemized before you commit to retaining us.
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 in Harris means we discharge any existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's lawyer on their requisitions, and release your sale proceeds once closing funds land — a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax doesn't factor into a seller's file at all, since it's a cost the buyer bears. You'll get plain-language updates from us rather than legal jargon at each step.
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.
Purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Harris properties are all handled under our flat-fee Mortgage service, $1,241.87 including HST. We confirm your lender's commitment letter matches the actual numbers, register the charge, and make sure conditions are cleared so your funds are ready on schedule — new, refinance, or private, the process doesn't change.
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. We take on Harris purchases, sales, and refinances the same as any other Ontario file — reviewed, signed, and closed by phone, email, and e-signature, with no office visit required.
No. Municipal land transfer tax is a Toronto-only charge. Harris buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and that's the full LTT picture.
It covers our legal work, HST included. Third-party and government costs — land transfer tax, title insurance if you choose it — are shown as separate, at-cost line items, never folded into the legal fee.
Through the Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54. Filing happens electronically via ONLAND, and that's part of what our flat fee covers.
Not really. Harris's 2021 population was 530, so file volume is modest, but the legal steps — title review, closing prep, registration — are identical to what we do on a busy-suburb file.
