№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Properties in Loyalist register through the Lennox Land Registry Office, LRO #29, with the actual filing submitted electronically over ONLAND rather than in person, matching well with a workflow that doesn't require you to be physically present anywhere.

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 Loyalist

What Loyalist buyers should know

Buyers purchasing in the Township of Loyalist, within the Lennox and Addington region, owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax exclusively, given that a municipal version of that tax is charged nowhere else in Ontario except Toronto. That provincial amount is included in your written closing cost estimate from the outset, along with a review of any first-time buyer rebate you may be able to claim. StatCan's 2021 census recorded 17,943 residents in Loyalist, across approximately 7,145 total private dwellings, with 6,830 occupied at the time. Whatever the home type, your file moves through the same flat-fee process from opening to closing.

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 Loyalist

Clean title, clean payout

Sellers in Loyalist can count on our office to discharge any existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's requisitions on time, and prepare an accurate statement of adjustments reflecting taxes, fees, and prepayments. Since land transfer tax is charged only to buyers, it has no impact on your proceeds as a seller. Funds are released to you promptly once the transaction closes and clears.

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 Loyalist

One flat fee, every mortgage

Whether your Loyalist property needs a new purchase mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage registered, our Mortgage service applies a single flat, HST-included fee across the board. We examine the commitment letter's requirements, prepare the charge for registration, and confirm the lender's conditions have been satisfied before treating the file as complete. The price and process hold steady across all three mortgage types.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Loyalist closing questions

Do I need to travel to close on a Loyalist property?

No — document review, signing, and closing all take place online through phone, video calls, and secure e-signature.

Is there a municipal land transfer tax in Loyalist?

There isn't. Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax, so Loyalist buyers pay the provincial rate alone.

Is the flat fee truly all-inclusive?

The flat fee we quote, with HST built in, is the total for our legal work. Provincial land transfer tax and registration costs are separate government charges, itemized clearly so you know exactly where each dollar goes.

What land registry office covers Loyalist?

Loyalist properties register through the Lennox Land Registry Office, LRO #29, filed electronically through ONLAND as part of your flat fee.
