Hilliard is a Timiskaming District township of 215 people, and a property closing there runs through the same flat, HST-included fee and the same phone-and-email process we use for every file across Ontario.
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 Hilliard-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Hilliard sits within the Timiskaming Land Registry Office's jurisdiction, LRO #54, part of the Timiskaming census division, with electronic registration throughout.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our Mortgage service handles new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgages registered against Hilliard properties, all for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We verify the lender's commitment, prepare the charge document, and register it once conditions are met, so your funds move on schedule.
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.
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.
No. Hilliard buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing further at the municipal level.
Land transfer tax, registration costs, and optional title insurance are all itemized separately, at cost, from our flat legal fee.
The Timiskaming Land Registry Office, LRO #54; we register electronically as part of your flat fee.
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.
