Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

South Stormont doesn't have its own land registry office — filing happens electronically through the province's ONLAND (Teraview) system, the same digital route your file already travels through when you work with us online, so there's no separate in-person step to arrange.

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 South Stormont

What South Stormont buyers should know

Closings in South Stormont carry only Ontario's provincial land transfer tax; the extra municipal tax some buyers hear about is a Toronto-specific rule that doesn't extend into Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. We calculate that provincial figure for you up front and flag any first-time buyer rebate you could claim. The township is home to roughly 13,570 people across about 5,583 private dwellings, and our process treats a waterfront property the same as a modest in-town bungalow — same review, same flat fee. That fee is $1,354.87 for a purchase, HST included, with only disbursements and the land transfer tax added on top, both shown to you at cost before closing.

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 South Stormont

Clean title, clean payout

Selling in South Stormont means we discharge any existing mortgage registered against your title, respond to requisitions raised by the buyer's lawyer, and release your net proceeds without delay once funds arrive. The land transfer tax is a buyer expense under Ontario law, so it never factors into a seller's file. Our flat sale fee is $1,241.87, HST included, and we keep you informed at every stage so closing day is routine.

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

South Stormont closing questions

Looking for a real estate lawyer who covers South Stormont?

You don't have to find a firm with a storefront in the township. We handle document review, signing arrangements, and closing communication by phone and email, so a South Stormont file gets the same attention as any other.

Is there a South Stormont land transfer tax beyond the provincial one?

No additional municipal land transfer tax applies here — that's a rule unique to Toronto within Ontario. South Stormont buyers pay the provincial rate only.

Will I owe anything beyond your quoted flat fee?

Our flat fee already has HST built in. Costs like the provincial land transfer tax and an optional item such as title insurance are broken out as separate, clearly labelled charges.

How does registration work without a local land registry office?

Your file registers electronically through ONLAND, Ontario's province-wide system — there's no physical office to visit and no extra step for you to manage.

What's the timeline once I hire you for a South Stormont deal?

We begin title work and prepare closing documents as soon as you retain us, staying in contact with your lender and the other side to keep your agreed closing date on track.
