№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

O'Connor Township is within the Thunder Bay census division, and title here registers at the Thunder Bay Land Registry Office, LRO #55. Registration there is electronic, which is how we close O'Connor files without requiring anyone to be physically present.

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 O'Connor

What O'Connor buyers should know

Buyers in O'Connor Township owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and nothing extra at the municipal level, since the township has no transfer tax of its own to charge. Our purchase fee is $1,354.87 flat, HST included, and we present the provincial LTT and any disbursements as separate figures on your closing statement so you know the full number well before closing day. O'Connor's 2021 census population was 689, with 283 private dwellings recorded and 274 of them occupied by usual residents — a tight gap between total and occupied dwellings compared to some neighbouring townships. Whatever property you're buying, our title search, review, and closing steps stay the same.

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 O'Connor

Clean title, clean payout

Selling an O'Connor Township property, we arrange the discharge of your current mortgage, respond to requisitions the buyer's lawyer sends over, and finalize your net proceeds statement in advance of closing. Land transfer tax is charged to the buyer, so it has no impact on what you receive. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price.

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.
