Huron Shores stretches along Lake Huron's north shore, and a closing there with us looks the same as a closing anywhere in Ontario: a flat, HST-included fee, and a file run entirely by phone, email, and e-signature.
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 Huron Shores-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
The Algoma Land Registry Office (LRO #1) receives Huron Shores registrations, filed through ONLAND rather than on paper. That registration is included in your flat fee, consistent with a file that already runs by phone, email, and e-signature.
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.
Purchases in Huron Shores are subject to Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only; there's no municipal layer added on top, and we build that estimate into your closing cost breakdown up front. The municipality had roughly 1,860 residents at the 2021 census, sitting within the Algoma census division, and its housing stock included 1,171 private dwellings on record with 834 occupied by usual residents — a difference that fits a shoreline municipality with a meaningful share of seasonal properties. Whether the home is a full-time residence or a getaway property, our fee and process stay the same.
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 Huron Shores sale runs the standard Ontario course: we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and get your proceeds to you once funds clear on closing. Because land transfer tax is charged to the buyer, it isn't part of your costs as the seller. You'll get email updates as each part of the file is completed.
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.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Huron Shores properties are all handled through our Mortgage service for the same flat, HST-included fee. We review the commitment letter, register the charge, and make sure the lender's conditions are satisfied before your funds move. Same fee, whichever type of mortgage brings you to us.
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 — that's simply how we work. Reviewing the agreement, signing, and closing out the file are handled over phone, email, and secure e-signature, so an office visit is never on the checklist.
No second tax applies here. Huron Shores doesn't charge anything beyond what the province requires — the additional municipal land transfer tax you may have heard about is a Toronto-only rule.
Our flat fee, HST included, is the total for our legal work. Land transfer tax and optional title insurance are separate, clearly itemized government and third-party costs.
At the Algoma Land Registry Office, LRO #1. ONLAND handles the electronic filing, and it's included in your flat fee — nothing extra to arrange.
Right away — once you retain us we begin title review, mortgage instructions, and closing documents so your closing date holds.
