№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Tay properties register at the Simcoe Land Registry Office, LRO #51, with filing completed electronically through ONLAND. Our online process was built for that same electronic model, so working with us doesn't change how a Tay transaction actually 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 Tay

What Tay buyers should know

The municipal land transfer tax that catches some buyers off guard applies in one place only, and Tay isn't it, so buyers here owe just the provincial land transfer tax. Tay is a township in Simcoe County, with a population of about 11,091 people across 5,301 private dwellings as of the last census — 4,535 of them occupied by usual residents. Whichever type describes your purchase, our flat fee of $1,354.87, HST included, doesn't move. We calculate your LTT estimate and check rebate eligibility as part of your quote, then start on title search as soon as you're retained so the file has a head start.

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 Tay

Clean title, clean payout

Selling a Tay property means we discharge whatever mortgage is registered against title, answer the buyer's lawyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once the sale has closed and funds have come through. Land transfer tax is charged to buyers, not sellers, so it has no bearing on what you owe us. Our flat sale fee is $1,241.87, HST included, and we keep you informed in plain terms as the file 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

Tay closing questions

Need a real estate lawyer near you in Tay?

You don't need one with a physical office in the township — Tay clients work with us by phone, email, and secure online signing, from start to close.

Is there a municipal land transfer tax in Tay?

No. Tay buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone — the additional municipal version is limited to one Ontario city, and Tay is not it.

Does your flat fee cover everything, or should I budget for extras?

Our flat fee is the complete legal charge, HST included, whether that's $1,354.87 to buy or $1,241.87 to sell or refinance. Land transfer tax and disbursements arrive separately at cost, spelled out so you can see exactly what each one covers.

Where does a Tay closing get registered?

At the Simcoe Land Registry Office, LRO #51, through the province's electronic ONLAND system. Our process is already set up to work with that system, so no additional steps fall on you.

Do you work with waterfront or seasonal properties in Tay the same as year-round homes?

Yes — property type and use don't change the flat fee or the process; every Tay file follows the same steps.
