№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Prescott doesn't have its own physical land registry office; property here registers electronically through the province's ONLAND and Teraview system, which matches our online closing process directly.

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 Prescott

What Prescott buyers should know

Prescott is a single-tier town in the Leeds and Grenville census division, and because Toronto is the only Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax, Prescott buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering title review, closing preparation, and registration; the land transfer tax and disbursements are calculated separately and itemized. The 2021 census recorded a population of 4,078 and 1,993 total private dwellings, with 1,889 occupied by usual residents. The same flat fee applies to a house, a townhome, or a smaller condominium unit.

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 Prescott

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in Prescott follows the same steps we use on every file: we discharge any mortgage registered against the property, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your proceeds once closing funds are confirmed. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, no matter the sale price. Land transfer tax is the buyer's obligation, not yours, so it doesn't show up on your closing statement, and we keep you posted as the file progresses.

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.

№ 05Before You Ask

Prescott closing questions

Do I need to find a real estate lawyer's office in Prescott itself?

No. Our Prescott closings are handled entirely online — review, signing, and registration all happen online, so there's no local office to visit.

Is there a municipal land transfer tax in Prescott?

No. Municipal land transfer tax is charged in Toronto and nowhere else in Ontario, so Prescott buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax only.

What isn't included in your flat quoted fee?

Our flat fee, HST included, is the complete legal charge — nothing more on that side. The provincial land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance sit apart from it and are itemized individually.

How is a Prescott property registered if there's no local land registry office?

Prescott property registers electronically through Ontario's ONLAND and Teraview system rather than at a standalone local office, and our team manages that filing directly.

How many private dwellings does Prescott have?

The 2021 census recorded 1,993 total private dwellings in Prescott, with 1,889 occupied by usual residents at the time of the count.
