№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Stone Mills properties register at the Lennox Land Registry Office, LRO #29, with the actual filing done electronically instead of in person. Because our closings are already conducted through digital documents, that electronic registration step is simply part of how the file moves forward.

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 Stone Mills

What Stone Mills buyers should know

Stone Mills, a township in Lennox and Addington County, applies Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only, with no municipal tax on top. Our purchase fee is a flat $1,354.87, HST included, covering title review, requisitions, and closing work. The 2021 census counted 7,826 residents in Stone Mills across 3,436 total private dwellings, with 3,071 of those occupied by usual residents. We build your provincial LTT estimate, and any applicable rebate, into your quote before the file gets underway.

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 Stone Mills

Clean title, clean payout

A Stone Mills sale follows the usual Ontario process: we discharge your existing mortgage from title, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once the transaction closes. The sale fee is a flat $1,241.87, HST included, with disbursements billed at actual cost. Land transfer tax is a cost the buyer carries, not the seller, so it doesn't affect what you receive.

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.
