Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Hilliard sits within the Timiskaming Land Registry Office's jurisdiction, LRO #54, part of the Timiskaming census division, with electronic registration throughout.

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 Hilliard

What Hilliard buyers should know

Buying in Hilliard means paying only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax — the township has no municipal transfer tax of its own. StatCan's 2021 Census put Hilliard's population at 215, across 93 private dwellings, 87 of them occupied by usual residents. Small as that is, a Hilliard purchase still goes through the full legal process — title search, requisitions, closing — and our fee reflects that: $1,354.87 flat, HST included, with the land transfer tax and disbursements itemized separately at cost.

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 Hilliard

Clean title, clean payout

A Hilliard sale is handled the standard way: we discharge the existing mortgage from title, deal with the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds clear, for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. Land transfer tax falls on the buyer, not you, so it isn't part of your bill, no matter the property type.

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

Hilliard closing questions

Is there a real estate lawyer's office located in Hilliard?

No — we're based in Mississauga, and every step of a Hilliard file is done by phone, email, and e-signature, so there's nothing to visit in person on either end.

Does Hilliard have a municipal land transfer tax?

No. Hilliard buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing further at the municipal level.

What's separate from the flat fee in Hilliard?

Land transfer tax, registration costs, and optional title insurance are all itemized separately, at cost, from our flat legal fee.

Which registry office handles a Hilliard file?

The Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54; we register electronically as part of your flat fee.

Does Hilliard's small size slow down closings?

Not from a legal standpoint. At 215 residents, Hilliard is a small township, but the steps to close a file — title review, documents, registration — take the same care as any other Ontario file.
