№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Registration for Perth East runs through the Perth Land Registry Office (LRO #44), and filing takes place electronically via ONLAND/Teraview — no counter visit required, which lines up with how we already manage the rest of your file online.

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 Perth East

What Perth East buyers should know

Perth East buyers owe Ontario's provincial land transfer tax and no additional municipal tax, since that extra charge belongs to Toronto alone and has no reach into Perth County. We include that provincial figure in your upfront estimate and check whether a first-time buyer rebate applies to your purchase. Perth East counts about 12,595 residents across roughly 4,266 private dwellings, a smaller dwelling stock than many neighbouring communities, and every one of those files receives the identical flat-fee treatment regardless of property type. The purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with disbursements and land transfer tax billed separately, at cost, and clearly itemized.

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 Perth East

Clean title, clean payout

When selling in Perth East, we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds promptly once the deal closes. Land transfer tax is a buyer's obligation under Ontario law, so a seller's file is never affected by it. Our flat sale fee is $1,241.87, HST included, and we keep you informed throughout so closing proceeds without last-minute issues.

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.
