Marmora and Lake closings run entirely through our online process — no in-person visit required at any point, and one flat fee with HST included whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing property in the municipality.
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 Marmora and Lake-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
The Hastings Land Registry Office, LRO #21, is the registry of record for Marmora and Lake, and our filings there are electronic, in step with our online process.
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.
Marmora and Lake sits within Hastings County, and buyers there pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, because Toronto remains the sole Ontario municipality with a municipal land transfer tax layered on top. We price purchases at a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering title review, closing preparation, and registration, with the provincial land transfer tax and disbursements added and itemized separately. The 2021 census recorded 4,267 residents and 2,578 total private dwellings, of which 1,887 were occupied by usual residents. Whether you're closing on a home in the village or a rural parcel elsewhere in the municipality, the fee and process don't change.
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.
When you sell in Marmora and Lake, we discharge any existing mortgage from title, respond to requisitions raised by the buyer's lawyer, and release your proceeds once the closing funds are confirmed. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, so it's not part of your file, and we send updates as your closing moves through each step.
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.
Our Mortgage service covers new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Marmora and Lake property for a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We check the lender's commitment letter, prepare and register the mortgage, and confirm the closing conditions are satisfied before funds release. The fee is the same across mortgage types.
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. That kind of tax is specific to Toronto; buyers in Marmora and Lake pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing extra at the municipal level.
HST is already folded into the flat fee, which covers our legal work start to finish. Outside of that sit the provincial land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance, each itemized on its own.
