Machar is a township of 969 residents in the Parry Sound census division. A file this size gets the same legal steps and flat fee as a file from any other municipality — purchase, sale, or mortgage, HST included, handled 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 Machar-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Registration for Machar properties runs through the Parry Sound Land Registry Office (LRO #42), filed electronically through the province's ONLAND system as a standard part of 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.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
Machar buyers owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no municipal add-on, since only Toronto imposes its own municipal land transfer tax alongside the provincial one. We estimate your provincial LTT early and check whether a first-time buyer rebate applies. StatCan recorded 875 private dwellings in Machar in 2021, of which 459 were occupied by usual residents — both figures are reported here as-is, without speculation about the remainder. Purchase files are $1,354.87 flat, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements listed separately at cost so your final number is never a surprise.
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 Machar sale runs through the standard Ontario steps: discharging any existing mortgage, answering the buyer's requisitions on title, and preparing your statement of adjustments so proceeds are ready to release on closing. Land transfer tax falls on the buyer, so it doesn't affect what you owe. Our sale fee is $1,241.87, flat and HST included, regardless of the property's size or value.
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 mortgage, refinance, and private mortgage files on Machar property are handled under our Mortgage service for $1,241.87 flat, HST included. That covers reviewing your commitment letter, registering the charge on title, and confirming your lender's conditions before funds release — the same scope whether it's a first mortgage or a third refinance.
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 — closings here move by phone, email, and e-signature, so where the lawyer's desk sits doesn't factor into how quickly or well a Machar file closes.
No. Machar buyers pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; Toronto is the only municipality in the province that adds its own layer on top.
Land transfer tax, title insurance if you choose it, and standard disbursements — these are third-party or government charges, itemized separately from our flat legal fee so nothing is buried.
The Parry Sound Land Registry Office, LRO #42. Filing is done electronically through ONLAND, which is included in your flat fee.
No — the steps, timelines, and legal standards are identical to what we'd do for a larger municipality; only the address on the file changes.
