№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Filing for a Penetanguishene closing goes through the Simcoe office, LRO #51, on Ontario's electronic ONLAND system rather than on paper. That's part of what lets us run your closing entirely online, since no one needs to attend a counter in person.

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 Penetanguishene

What Penetanguishene buyers should know

Buyers in Penetanguishene pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, and that's the only land transfer tax that applies — the town doesn't add a municipal version. We charge a flat $1,354.87 for a purchase file, HST included, while showing the land transfer tax and disbursements as separate at-cost items rather than absorbing them into that number. Penetanguishene is a town in Simcoe County, home to roughly 10,077 people at last census. We move every purchase file through the same sequence: title review, mortgage coordination if applicable, and closing document preparation, no matter the property type.

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 Penetanguishene

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in Penetanguishene, our role is to pay out and discharge your existing mortgage, respond to whatever the buyer's lawyer raises by way of requisitions, and release your net proceeds once the sale registers. Land transfer tax stays entirely on the buyer's side of the ledger. Our price for selling is $1,241.87 flat with HST included, consistent from file to file.

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.
