№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Renfrew Land Registry Office (LRO #49) holds title records for Horton; every registration there is submitted electronically rather than delivered in person, which fits how we already run the rest of your file.

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 Horton

What Horton buyers should know

A municipal land transfer tax doesn't apply in Horton — that's a Toronto-only add-on — so buyers here pay just the province's land transfer tax. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements itemized separately so you can see the full breakdown before closing. Horton's population was 3,182 at the 2021 census, across 1,486 total private dwellings, 1,290 of them occupied by usual residents. That process holds whether you're buying a detached home, a rural property, or something else entirely.

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 Horton

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in Horton means the usual Ontario steps apply: we discharge your mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds arrive. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and because land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, it has no bearing on a seller's file.

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.

№ 04Mortgages in Horton

One flat fee, every mortgage

For a new mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage registration on a Horton property, our fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, covering commitment letter review, charge registration, and confirmation that the lender's conditions are met. The fee is the same whether it's a new mortgage, a refinance, or a private lender registration.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.

Horton closing questions

Do I need a real estate lawyer located near Horton?

No — Treadstone Law handles Horton files online from Mississauga, with review, signing, and closing all done online and by phone.

Does Horton charge an extra land transfer tax?

No. Only Toronto has a municipal land transfer tax on top of the provincial one; Horton buyers pay the provincial rate alone.

What's included in the flat fee you quote?

The flat fee is our legal fee, HST included. Land transfer tax and optional title insurance are separate, itemized, at-cost charges.

Which land registry office covers Horton?

Horton properties are registered at the Renfrew Land Registry Office, LRO #49, with filings submitted electronically.

What's Horton's population, and does it matter for pricing?

The 2021 census counted 3,182 residents. Population size doesn't change our fee — Horton files are quoted the same flat rate as anywhere else.
