№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

Tecumseh registrations go through Essex LRO #12, filed electronically via ONLAND rather than delivered by hand at a counter — a step we handle for you at no cost beyond the flat fee.

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 Tecumseh

What Tecumseh buyers should know

Buyers in Tecumseh are responsible for Ontario's provincial land transfer tax alone, as the town has no municipal land transfer tax of its own; that charge is unique to Toronto and doesn't extend to other Ontario municipalities. A Tecumseh purchase file is priced at $1,354.87 flat, HST included, and that fee covers reviewing your agreement of purchase and sale, searching title, and preparing your closing package. Land transfer tax and disbursements are separate, billed at cost and itemized clearly. Tecumseh's population reached 23,300 in the 2021 census, and every purchase file there is priced the same, no matter the property's value.

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 Tecumseh

Clean title, clean payout

Selling with us means the mortgage comes off title, we answer the other lawyer's questions, and your proceeds go out once the deal is officially closed. Because land transfer tax is charged to the buyer, it plays no role in a seller's costs. Selling in Tecumseh with us costs $1,241.87 flat, HST included, plus disbursements billed separately at cost. We run the file online and keep you updated as it moves forward.

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

Tecumseh closing questions

Searching for a real estate lawyer near you in Tecumseh?

There's no need to find an office located in Tecumseh — our service works entirely through phone, email, and secure document handling, wherever you're based.

Is there a Tecumseh municipal land transfer tax?

No, Tecumseh doesn't have one. That extra layer of tax is a Toronto-specific charge; elsewhere in Ontario, including Tecumseh, only the provincial tax applies.

What costs sit outside your flat fee?

Outside our flat, HST-inclusive fee, three things can appear on your statement: the land transfer tax, disbursements, and optional title insurance, each charged at cost, never marked up.

Which land registry office covers Tecumseh?

Essex Land Registry Office, LRO #12, covers Tecumseh; we submit that filing electronically through ONLAND as part of our standard process.

Do you close both freehold and condo files in Tecumseh?

Yes — freehold homes, condos, and other property types in Tecumseh are all priced under the same flat fee.
