№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Red Lake registrations are handled by the Kenora Land Registry Office, LRO #23, and electronic filing is how every one of our closings there gets 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 Red Lake

What Red Lake buyers should know

Red Lake is a single-tier municipality within the Kenora census division, and its buyers pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, since Toronto is the sole municipality in the province with a municipal land transfer tax of its own. Our purchase service is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, for title review, closing document preparation, and registration, with the provincial land transfer tax and disbursements calculated and itemized separately from that fee. StatCan's 2021 census recorded a population of 4,094 and 1,899 total private dwellings, with 1,703 occupied by usual residents. The flat fee is the same whether the property is in the town centre or elsewhere in the municipality.

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 Red Lake

Clean title, clean payout

For sellers, we discharge any mortgage registered against the Red Lake property, respond to the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once funds are confirmed on closing. Our sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, unrelated to sale price. Land transfer tax is a buyer's expense, not the seller's, so it won't appear on your file, and we keep you updated as closing 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

Red Lake closing questions

Can I close a Red Lake property without an in-person lawyer meeting?

Yes. Every step on a Red Lake file — review, signing, closing — is handled by phone and secure document exchange, so there's no need to meet anyone in person.

Does Red Lake charge a municipal land transfer tax?

No. That additional tax is a Toronto feature; Red Lake buyers are on the hook for the provincial land transfer tax alone.

Is there anything not covered by your flat fee?

Yes, our flat fee is inclusive of HST and covers legal work only. The provincial land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance are billed separately, each shown as its own itemized line.

Which land registry office handles Red Lake?

The Kenora Land Registry Office, LRO #23, is Red Lake's registry of record; our electronic filing there completes the registration step of your closing.

How many dwellings does Red Lake have?

StatCan's 2021 census recorded 1,899 total private dwellings in Red Lake, with 1,703 occupied by usual residents at the time of the count.
