Tehkummah Township, on Manitoulin Island, had 450 residents at the 2021 census. Buying, selling, or refinancing on Manitoulin doesn't require a local office visit — our flat-fee process, HST included, runs by phone, email, and e-signature start to finish.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Tehkummah-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Tehkummah falls under the Manitoulin Land Registry Office, LRO #31, and registration is filed electronically through ONLAND — the standard for every property in the province, island locations included.
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.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
Buyers closing in Tehkummah pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax, with no municipal top-up, since that additional charge applies in exactly one Ontario city and Manitoulin Island isn't it. StatCan's 2021 data shows 368 total private dwellings in Tehkummah against 224 occupied by usual residents — a gap of nearly 40%, likely tied to cottage and seasonal-use properties that are common on the island, though we report the numbers rather than guess at specific causes. A Tehkummah purchase closes at a flat $1,354.87, HST included, whatever type of property is involved, and land transfer tax plus disbursements are itemized separately at cost on your closing statement.
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.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
Selling in Tehkummah, our work is to discharge your existing mortgage, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds promptly once funds are confirmed — a flat $1,241.87 including HST. Land transfer tax is charged to buyers only, so it never appears on a seller's ledger. You'll get regular updates rather than being left to wonder where the file stands.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
New purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations on Tehkummah properties run through our Mortgage service at a flat $1,241.87, HST included. We verify the lender's commitment letter against actual figures, register the charge on title, and confirm conditions are cleared before funds are released.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
Yes — we handle Tehkummah files the same as anywhere else, closing entirely by phone, email, and e-signature without requiring you to visit an office.
No. Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario with that extra tax layer. Tehkummah buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone.
Government charges — land transfer tax being the main one — and optional costs like title insurance are separate, at-cost items. The flat fee covers our legal work with HST built in.
Through the Manitoulin Land Registry Office, LRO #31, filed electronically via ONLAND as part of our flat fee.
StatCan recorded 368 total private dwellings in 2021 versus 224 occupied by usual residents — a common pattern on Manitoulin Island tied to seasonal properties. We report both figures without speculating on individual cases.
