McKellar Township sits in the Parry Sound census division and counted 1,419 residents in 2021, against 1,515 total private dwellings — more homes than year-round people. Our flat-fee, phone-and-email real estate process treats a McKellar file exactly like any other in Ontario.
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 McKellar-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
McKellar properties are registered at Parry Sound Land Registry Office #42, and filing is submitted electronically to ONLAND, as it is across the province. That electronic step is a natural match for a legal process we've built to run entirely online.
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.
Buying in McKellar means paying Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only; there's no municipal tax layered onto that. We calculate the provincial LTT for your specific purchase price and include it in your upfront cost summary, along with any rebate you might qualify for. McKellar's 2021 census recorded 1,419 residents, 1,515 total private dwellings, and 695 occupied by usual residents — a gap typical of a lake-district township with substantial cottage housing. The legal process and flat fee don't shift based on whether the property is a year-round or seasonal home.
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 McKellar, we take care of title review, discharging any mortgage or line of credit registered against the property, responding to the buyer's requisitions, and releasing your proceeds once funds have cleared on closing. Since land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, it never touches your side of the transaction. You'll get clear, timely updates rather than legal jargon.
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.
Purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on McKellar properties all fall under our Mortgage service, priced at one flat, HST-included fee. We compare the lender's commitment letter to the deal, prepare and register the charge, and confirm closing conditions are met before funds move. New, refinance, or private financing — the fee stays the same.
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.
You don't need to drive to an office in McKellar to retain us. Review, signing, and closing happen by phone, email, and e-signature, wherever you're located.
It doesn't. McKellar buyers owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only — the additional municipal land transfer tax that Toronto charges has no counterpart here.
HST is already folded into the flat fee. Government and third-party costs — the provincial land transfer tax and optional title insurance — are shown separately so nothing is hidden inside the legal fee.
Parry Sound Land Registry Office #42, with registration filed electronically through ONLAND — a step included in our flat fee.
That's the aim. We start title review, mortgage instructions, and closing paperwork as soon as you retain us so the closing date in your agreement of purchase and sale has the best shot of holding.
For McKellar buyers and sellers who'd like to verify these points themselves, here are official government and land registry resources.
