№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Petawawa registrations go through the Renfrew Land Registry Office, LRO #49, filed electronically via ONLAND instead of in person, which means our fully online process maps directly onto how these files actually get registered.

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 Petawawa

What Petawawa buyers should know

Home buyers closing in the Town of Petawawa, part of the Renfrew region, pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax alone, since Toronto remains the only municipality in the province that layers on its own additional tax. We include that provincial cost in your closing estimate right away and check whether a first-time buyer rebate applies to reduce it further. According to the 2021 census, Petawawa had a population of 18,160 across roughly 7,174 total private dwellings, with 6,762 of those occupied. Detached home or townhouse, the same flat-fee legal process applies to your purchase either way.

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.

Learn before you close

№ 03Selling in Petawawa

Clean title, clean payout

Sellers in Petawawa can expect us to discharge any existing mortgage registered against the property, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions inside the agreed timeline, and prepare a statement of adjustments that accounts for every credit and debit on closing day. Because land transfer tax falls entirely on the buyer, it has no bearing whatsoever on your net proceeds. Once the sale closes and funds are confirmed, we release your money promptly.

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.

№ 04Mortgages in Petawawa

One flat fee, every mortgage

Petawawa property owners working with our Mortgage service — whether it's a purchase mortgage, a refinance, or a private mortgage — pay one flat, HST-included fee regardless of type. We go through the commitment letter's terms, prepare and register the charge, and confirm the lender's conditions are all satisfied before considering the mortgage file closed. The fee and process don't change based on which of the three applies.

New mortgage

A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.

Refinance

Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.

Private mortgage

Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
