Johnson Township, an Algoma District community of 749 people, closes real estate the same way any Ontario municipality does with us: a set legal fee with HST included, files worked 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 Johnson-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Johnson Township is part of the Algoma census division, and property registers at the Algoma Land Registry Office, LRO #1. Registrations there are electronic, which is why our team can close a Johnson file without needing to be on site.
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.
Buyers of Johnson Township property pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, since the township carries no municipal transfer tax of its own. Our purchase fee is $1,354.87, flat and HST included, and we provide a closing cost estimate that separates the provincial LTT and any disbursements from our fee so you can see the full picture before you commit. Johnson's 2021 census population was 749, with 422 private dwellings recorded and 272 of those occupied by usual residents. Whether you're closing on a single lot or a family property that's changed hands before, the document review and title steps stay consistent.
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 Johnson Township, we handle the mortgage discharge from your existing lender, respond to requisitions the buyer's counsel sends, and finalize your net proceeds statement well ahead of closing. Because land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, it never factors into what you owe on a sale. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price.
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.
Whether it's a new purchase mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage on Johnson Township land, our fee is $1,241.87 flat, HST included.
