Seventeen lower-tier municipalities sit inside Renfrew County, ranging from Petawawa's roughly eighteen thousand residents down to Head, Clara and Maria's population in the low hundreds. Arnprior, Laurentian Valley, and the Town of Renfrew fall in between. That spread doesn't change the pricing: a purchase, sale, or refinance closes at the same flat fee whether the property is a Petawawa subdivision home or a rural parcel in a smaller township, through the same document-based process.

The property-tax adjustment on the statement of adjustments doesn't set up a new tax account — it simply divides the current tax bill between buyer and seller as of closing day, crediting whichever side prepaid past their ownership. After closing, the municipality bills the new owner directly.
Ontario land transfer tax is the largest single line on most closing statements, and it is due in full on closing day. Enter a price to see the bracket-by-bracket calculation, the first-time buyer refund, and — where they apply — the Toronto municipal tax and the Non-Resident Speculation Tax. Full workings and the rate sources are on the land transfer tax calculator.
