№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

North Stormont has no dedicated local land registry office of its own; registration for properties here is completed electronically through the ONLAND system, with our office handling that submission as part of your file.

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 North Stormont

What North Stormont buyers should know

North Stormont buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only; a municipal land transfer tax applies exclusively in Toronto, so no second tax is added here. We build your provincial LTT figure into your closing cost estimate up front, along with any first-time buyer rebate you may be entitled to. The 2021 census recorded 2,949 total private dwellings in North Stormont, with 2,853 occupied by usual residents — a close match, reported by StatCan as two separate figures we pass along without comment. Regardless of property type, our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with disbursements and land transfer tax itemized at cost.

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 North Stormont

Clean title, clean payout

Selling a home in North Stormont, we discharge your mortgage, work through the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once the sale registers. Since land transfer tax is a cost carried by the buyer, it doesn't factor into your side of the transaction. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, and we send updates as your file progresses toward closing.

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.
