№ 01.3Local Logistics

Title, registration & property taxes

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

Registration & logistics

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.

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 Tehkummah

What Tehkummah buyers should know

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.

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 Tehkummah

Clean title, clean payout

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.

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

Tehkummah closing questions

Is there a real estate lawyer who works with Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island properties?

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.

Does Tehkummah have its own municipal land transfer tax?

No. Toronto is the only municipality in Ontario with that extra tax layer. Tehkummah buyers pay the provincial land transfer tax alone.

What's not included in the flat fee?

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.

Where does a Tehkummah property register?

Through the Manitoulin Land Registry Office, LRO #31, filed electronically via ONLAND as part of our flat fee.

Why is Tehkummah's dwelling count so much higher than its occupied count?

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.
