Prince Township, near Sault Ste. Marie in the Algoma census division, has a population of about 975. A township of that size closes real estate the same way a larger municipality does — one flat fee, HST included, run fully online from start to close.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Prince-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Prince Township properties register at the Algoma Land Registry Office (LRO #1), with registration completed electronically through ONLAND. We keep a Prince Township file moving with scheduled calls, emailed drafts, and e-signed closing paperwork throughout.
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.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
A Prince Township purchase is taxed under Ontario's provincial land transfer regime alone, with no municipal land transfer tax added — Toronto is the single Ontario municipality permitted to charge that extra layer, and Prince Township is a considerable distance from it in every sense. StatCan's 2021 census counted 462 total private dwellings in Prince, with 394 occupied by usual residents, against a population of roughly 975. That's a housing stock that's mostly year-round rather than seasonal. Your purchase, regardless of property type, closes at one flat fee, with the provincial LTT estimate and any applicable rebate included in the closing cost summary we prepare before you commit.
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.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
A sale in Prince Township goes through Ontario's usual steps: we search title, arrange discharge of your existing mortgage, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds are confirmed. Land transfer tax sits with the buyer, so it doesn't affect what you take away from the sale. With relatively few resale transactions closing in the township in a typical year, we document each step plainly so nothing gets assumed or skipped.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Prince Township properties are handled under one flat, HST-included fee through our Mortgage service. We review your lender's commitment letter, register the charge on title, and confirm funding conditions are met before your closing date. The process stays the same whether financing comes from a bank or a private lender.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
Yes. Prince Township has fewer transactions than a large city, but the legal steps involved in a purchase, sale, or refinance don't change, and neither does our flat fee.
No. Buyers in Prince Township pay only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the municipal-level charge that applies in Toronto isn't imposed here.
You don't need an office nearby. Calls, emailed drafts, and e-signed closing paperwork carry a Prince Township file through the same steps as any other file on our desk.
The Algoma Land Registry Office, LRO #1, with electronic registration through ONLAND included as part of your flat fee.
Our legal fee, HST included. Provincial land transfer tax, registration disbursements, and optional title insurance are itemized separately at cost, so nothing is folded into the flat price.
